Ideal for anyone who enjoys outdoor life and a slower pace of daily living than in the nation's huge cities.

Tucson's main advantage is that the cost of living is lower than the rest of the US and it has a major healthcare facility. The downside is that , as a college town, it's not always a great place for seniors unless they reside in the suburbs.
