Have the Forbes 25 Best Places to Retire 2015 Recommendations Changed by 2026?

Thinking about retirement encompasses more than just finances; it’s about finding a place that feels like home. The Forbes 25 Best Places to Retire 2015 list featured some intriguing options, but I wonder if anyone has taken another look at those spots in 2026. Are they still worth considering?

I’ve heard mixed reviews from retirees—some still love their choices from that list, while others have found new favorites. A lot can change in a city over time, including community activities, cost of living, and healthcare access. I’d love to hear from anyone who moved based on that list or found different places that better suit their needs.

What are your thoughts? Are there locations that are now more appealing for retirees compared to 2015?
