Houston, Texas (Aug. 5, 2014) – Sherman, Texas, has been selected a top retirement destination by Where to Retire, the only magazine in America geared toward helping people with retirement relocation decisions. Sherman is one of eight cities profiled in a feature titled “8 Low-Cost Cities” in the September/October issue, available nationwide on Aug. 12, 2014.

Where to Retire editor Annette Fuller said these eight cities, including Sherman, offer boomers their dream retirement setting at a bargain price.

“Whether it’s a small city, a university town or a thriving urban center, options exist within most budgets. While home prices and everyday expenses may be lower in these towns, retirees aren’t sacrificing amenities and activities by relocating to these communities,” Fuller said.

The eight cities were chosen after research of cost-of-living data, taxes, housing prices and finally overall attractiveness and livability.

Each year, 700,000 Americans relocate to new towns to retire. Generally, relocating retirees are healthier, better educated and more affluent than those who choose to not relocate. They bring significant economic benefits to their new states and hometowns. Nationally, two dozen states and hundreds of towns seek to attract retirees as a source of economic development.

Low-cost cities featured: Anderson, SC; Palm Coast, FL; Tupelo, MS; Covington, KY; Norman, OK; Sherman, TX; Pueblo, CO; and Yakima, WA.
