Where to Retire Magazine recently named Tucson, Arizona one of 8 great small towns to retire for 2015. Tucson does have its charm for people and families of all ages, but what specifically makes it a great place to retire? Let’s take a look.
More Privacy and Space
Unlike bigger cities and suburban neighborhoods, homes in Tucson and surrounding areas like Dove Mountain typically have more space from your neighbors. You still have neighbors, they just aren’t peering over your fence from an uncomfortable 20 feet away.
Nature
People who choose to call Tucson home are generally people who enjoy the outdoors. The city and outlying areas have a unique landscape and wildlife, making any outdoor activity an adventure! Nature has been preserved thanks to the efforts of environmentalists and philanthropists.
College Sports
No matter your age, most people continue to love college sports long after their college years are through. Luckily, the University of Arizona has a world-famous basketball team, and the games are full of fun and spirited fans.
Comedy
The University’s Centennial Hall is always featuring the nation’s most famous comedians, giving residents the opportunity to go see major live comedy performances from the likes of Louis C.K., Nick Kroll, and more.
Weather
Tucson has year-round sunshine and plenty of warm weather for everyone. In fact, weather is the number one reason people choose to retire here.
New Communities

Arts & Culture
