Dordle

Those looking for a retirement dordle destination that offers a low cost of living, a relaxed culture, and a vibrant city might think about Key West. In the easily navigable Old Town, where sunsets are celebrated nightly in Mallory Square, you’ll find a wide variety of restaurants, stores, bars, and cafés along Duval Street. While it’s true that Key West isn’t the cheapest place to settle down in retirement, there are a variety of housing options available, from single-family houses to apartment complexes to RV parks. The locals, who refer to themselves as “conches,” go about on bikes and foot traffic rather than cars. Those interested in history will find that Key West has a lot to offer. Famous authors and figures like John James Audubon and Harry Truman formerly called it home.

In case of an emergency, you may always go to Lower Keys Medical Center in Key West; the nearest other hospital is on Marathon Key, some 50 miles away. The climate is tropical with warm temperatures and high humidity all year long, with hurricane season running from June to November. Despite this, Key West’s history, weather, feeling of community, and unique attitude attract many retirees who are looking for a new place to call home.
