Stuart Named One of the Best Communities to Retire
Stuart, Florida was just named one of the best places to retire by SmartAsset, a finance and technology company based out of New York.
SmartAsset factored things like recreation, health care, tax rates, and percentage of other seniors when ranking cities across the country to retire in. Stuart was ranked in the top 10 in Florida at #5 and was only one of two cities on the state's east coast to make the list (the other was Vero Beach). Stuart also ranked in the top 15 communities nationally.
The city of Stuart has a low tax rate, a lot of recreational activities, and seniors make up 28% of the population. Stuart is a great place for fishing (the Sailfish capital of the world), is surrounded by water, has beautiful real estate, a lively downtown, perfect weather year-round, and so much more.
Martin County, the county that Stuart is located in, was also just named the 12th healthiest county to retire in the U.S., by 24/7 Wall Street, a financial news corporation.
Locals have responded to the news with little surprise but some say they wish it was kept a secret! The area is just the right amount of everything- a mix of busy streets and dirt roads, historic downtown and brand new shopping centers, plenty of greenery and lots of blue water, it's a place you'll come to and want to stay.
Plan a visit to Stuart and see what a charming city it is and just how many things there are to do. Check out real estate in Stuart and see the beautiful homes we have available here.
