Forbes Named This Maine City ‘One of the Best Places to Retire in America’
No kidding! Lewiston was just named by Forbes as one of the best places to retire in the United States.
The Portland Press Herald and Forbes.com reported this weekend that the central Maine city was recommended to its readers by the magazine as one of the best places to move after a career.
Factors that caused Lewiston to make the list included access to services like elder care, housing affordability, cost of living, the tax rate for retired couples, and other info.
Maine is the "oldest" state in the Union, so it makes sense that we would have a town on this list, right? Are you surprised that it's Lewiston? Comment and let us know!
