TopRetirements.com has put out its list of what it says are the top 25 places to retire in the United States of America.  In our opinion, the list contains some surpises that we wouldn’t normally associate with retirment destination cities. But you be the judge.

Here’s an excert from their 25 Best Places to Live article.

Every year we keep track of the most popular retirement towns - our 2008 list has just been compiled.

Asheville, North Carolina remains the run away favorite dream retirement town. Asheville has 50% more web visits than the next most visited town on this site (Sarasota, Florida).

There were some new additions in 2008 within the top 10 places to retire on this list. Those include San Diego, California at #8; Austin, Texas at #9; and Phoenix, Arizona at #10.

Sunbelt states dominated with the most towns in the top 25 list. Connecticut (Old Saybrook), Canada (Halifax), and Ohio (oxford) were the only towns to make the list from north of the Mason-Dixon line. Arizona dominated with 6 “best” towns, followed by Florida (4), North Carolina (3), California (2), Texas (2), and Tennessee(2). Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, Connecticut, Ohio, and Canada each had 1 town on the list.
