Raleigh
The largest city on this list is the capital city. While some may see a rivalry between Raleigh and Charlotte, I've lived in both and think both are fantastic places to call home.
Garner
American Idol may have made Garner, NC look like small town USA but instead, it's a bustling suburb of Raleigh. You'll get all the amenities of living in a big city but with the small community-like feel of any of our state's suburbs.
Wilmington
Where better to retire than by the beach? You're just a short drive from several NC beaches in Wilmington.
Durham
The triangle is faring well on this list. Durham seems to find itself rising more and more on a variety of lists and for good reason!
Concord
This is as close as you'll get to the Queen City for an affordable retirement. Concord has been growing steadily and it's a wonderful town to retire.
Greensboro
It feels like Greensboro often gets overlooked between Raleigh and Charlotte. But it's an affordable location to call home especially in retirement.
