10 Best US Cities for Retirees
6) Charleston, South Carolina
Charleston is considered to be one of the nation’s most beautiful cities with its Spanish foliage and multi-colored housing. Including over 132,000 residents, Charleston is still a low crime port city with a wide array of public parks and lush gardens. Architecture in Charleston is rich in character and age with many of the homes still standing since construction as early as 1694. The city is heavily inspired by a mixture of Colonial history, the American Revolution, the Antebellum era, the Civil War, the Postbellum era, and the Contemporary era beginning in 1944. Charleston is a city that has undergone much transformation while preserving everything in the process. Otherwise known as “The Holy City,” Charleston values its many churches including the French Protestant Church, the St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, and the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.
