Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

If you retire in an affordable city with great weather, retirement can feel like a permanent vacation at its best.

To help you choose the best place to retire, GOBankingRates identified 22 cities across the U.S. that get the highest percentage of sunshine each year and calculated the average cost of living in each place for people ages 65 and older.

These cities feature good weather year-round — and some might fall within your budget. In some locations, it’s possible to retire well below the $57,818 national average needed to live each year.

Los Angeles California

Los Angeles — $93,492 per Year

Annual average possible sunshine: 73%
Annual average high temperature: 72.5 degrees

L.A. is the second most expensive city on this list to retire in, at 61% higher than the national average, but there’s plenty to do in this sunny city if you can swing the high annual expenses.

Los Angeles has diverse culture and art, and it’s a good place to live if you want to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle in your golden years, with lots of health-conscious food options and plenty of ways to stay active.

Annual average possible sunshine: 71%
Annual average high temperature: 80.8 degrees

Everyone flocks to Hawaii for its beauty and climate, and the cost of living reflects it: you’ll pay over 71% more than the national average for the privilege of retiring in paradise — Honolulu is the most expensive city on this list. So be sure you have a large nest egg before deciding to retire here.

Downtown Albuquerque New Mexico

Albuquerque, New Mexico — $53,193 per Year

Annual average possible sunshine: 76%
Annual average high temperature: 78.6 degrees

This southwestern city is known for hot air ballooning, and each October, it hosts the famed Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.

Annual average high temperature: 72.1 degrees

Roswell is the least expensive place on this list to retire, and it could provide an out-of-this-world experience.

The International UFO Museum & Research Center serves to make the public aware of what is called “The Roswell Incident.”

Key-West-Florida

Downtown Lubbock, Texas.

Lubbock, Texas — $46,890 per Year

Annual average possible sunshine: 72%
Annual average high temperature: 80.6 degrees

The cost of living in Tucson is only a tad bit below the national average — about 3% — but the good weather is a bonus.

Phoenix — $65,334 per Year

Annual average possible sunshine: 85%

Annual average possible sunshine: 90%
Annual average high temperature: 94.9 degrees

Annual average possible sunshine: 85%
Annual average high temperature: 93.8 degrees

Though the cost of living here is 10.6% higher than the rest of the nation, Las Vegas has more to offer than casinos on The Strip. It has a relatively high livability score of 82, undoubtedly due in part to its warmer-than-average weather.

Methodology: In order to find the cost to retire in America’s sunniest cities, GOBankingRates used data from the National Centers for Environmental Information National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to find the sunniest cities in America, using the cities with the highest percentage average possible sunshine. For each city, the highest average monthly temperature, highest temperature month and livability index were all sourced from AreaVibes. For the city to qualify, it had to have more than 70% average possible sunshine and a livability index higher than 70. For all remaining cities, the cost of living was sourced from Sperlings BestPlaces, and, using the national average cost of expenditures for people aged 65 and over as sourced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey, the average expenditure costs for each city were calculated. To find the overall best places; the percentage average possible sunshine was scored, the highest monthly average temperature was scored, the livability index was scored, and the annual cost of living was scored, with all scores being combined and sorted to show the places with more sunshine, higher livability, and lower cost of living. All data was collected and is up to date as of Dec. 29th, 2023.
