A City on the Move

Santa Fe is showing itself to be one of the most culturally vibrant retirement locations of the 21st century. In April 2003, AARP Magazine named Santa Fe one of the 15 best places in the country to reinvent yourself, and it is easy to see why: Santa Fe is home to a stimulating cultural scene and a prosperous business environment, all nestled in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. With more than 200 restaurants, the world-class golf and tennis facilities, the low crime rate, and the proximity to gorgeous outdoor recreation opportunities, it's easy to see why Santa Fe is one of the most popular places to retire in the United States.
Of all the amazing places to retire, Santa Fe stands out as a wonderful option for those seeking warm weather, diverse cultural and artistic opporutnities, and some of the best outdoor recreation in the United States. Just look and the accolades Santa Fe has garnered as a retirement destination in the past few years:
