Citro's purpose is to help older Australians make their best years better and where they live is key to that. Choosing where to retire is no easy feat, but we’re seeing people put community, comfort and convenience at the top of the list – and this guide is proof you don’t need to stay in the bigger cities to take advantage of all three.
We’ve identified the kind of places that make it easy for more Australians to enjoy retirement to the fullest. We chose our top 30 destinations on the basis that they offer a good mix of affordable spots to rent or buy near decent amenities like a good hospital, an inclusive, active community, and plenty of dining and leisure options.
We also ensured that a ‘day in the life’ of each location offered something for everyone – whether you’re into nature, sports, crafting, the foodie scene, socialising, volunteering or quieter pursuits.
Whether it’s a sea-change or tree-change, these locations actively build community and everyone is welcome.
