Best places nationwide to retire: Florida cities again dominate U.S. News’ list for 2021-22

Florida beach cities still rank among the best places to retire in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Report’s new list for 2021-22.

Eight Florida metro areas, including Daytona Beach and Melbourne, are among the top 10 nationwide.

Sarasota is on top for the second year in a row “due to increases in desirability, retiree tax and job market scores,” the magazine wrote. Naples is No. 2.

No inland Central Florida metro areas cracked the top 10 in the new rankings, but Orlando was ranked No. 18 in the nation, down two notches from last year.
