6 Reasons to Retire on the Paradise Coast

Retire on the Paradise Coast

Wouldn't it be nice to retire to a place with stunning sunsets, pristine beaches, excellent healthcare, and ample attractions? Well, there's a reason that Naples – located on Florida's Paradise Coast – was voted the happiest city in America for three years in a row! No matter where you come from before retiring, our REALTORS® are pleased to confirm that the Paradise Coast is welcoming to all. Get to know your new favorite retirement destination, with our 6 reasons to retire on the Paradise Coast.

  1. Enjoy the Greatest Golf Courses in Florida

    Whether you have a life-long love of the game or you're looking to pick up a new hobby in retirement, few things can top a day spent at one of the many, many great golf courses located on the Paradise Coast. There are more than 90 excellent golf courses located close to Naples homes for sale, each offering unique challenges, scenery, and amenities. Lessons are available at many local courses, along with fun golf leagues for adults. Of course, the pros know that the Paradise Coast is an amazing place for golf, too! There's an LPGA Tour event on the Paradise Coast during the fall, along with a PGA Tour Event hosted by golfing legend Greg Norman each December.

  2. Beautiful Beaches and Spectacular Sunsets

    Naples, Marco Island, the Everglades... no matter where you go on the Paradise Coast, you will be surrounded by the beauty and wonder of nature. Living on the Paradise Coast means that you're never more than minutes away from a trip to the beach, with clear, beautiful water and clean sand stretching as far as the eye can see. Even when you're not spending a full day at the beach, the opportunity to sneak off and catch a stunning sunset is simply irresistible. 

  3. Fantastic Fun on the Water

    Freshwater or saltwater. Out on your boat or dropping a line from your favorite pier. Fishing for sport or a casual, fun outing with a cold drink in your hand. If you love spending time around the water, the Paradise Coast is the place to be. There are so many fantastic fishing spots for anglers of all experience levels, along with plenty of other fun activities on the water. Catch your dinner, and enjoy every second of the chase.

  4. A Place Your Family Will Love to Visit

    While it's true that the Paradise Coast is especially popular among retirees, it's also a beloved spot to visit for, well, pretty much everyone. Family members will love coming to visit, with the warm weather, outdoor activities, and cultural attractions around every corner on the Paradise Coast. Younger kids love spending time by the water, while adults will appreciate all of the excellent art museums in the area. Of course, visitors of all ages will enjoy the incredible local dining scene along the Paradise Coast, and all of the amenities packed into each local community. 

  5. Health and Wellness at Every Turn

    Being healthy, happy, and fit makes it easier to enjoy all that retirement has to offer, and the Paradise Coast has a robust healthcare system to help keep you feeling your best. The NCH Healthcare System offers medical facilities throughout the Paradise Coast, while local spas and yoga studios present additional options to keep you at your best. Do health and nature go hand-in-hand for you? Then grab a paddleboard or hop in your kayak for a refreshing workout on the water. Or visit one of many local community centers, where you'll find exciting classes, group activities, games, exercise classes, holiday celebrations, community events, and so much more.

  6. Making the Most of Your Income and Retirement Savings

    As you may have heard, Florida has some of the lowest tax rates in the country and no state income tax. And it's not just taxes where you'll see significant savings. Florida's cost of living also consistently checks in below the national average, so your savings will stretch even farther.
