Ocean Pines, Maryland

Suppose you’ve saved up more than enough retirement investment funds to live in a peaceful community. In that case, you might want to consider Ocean Pines, Maryland.

This tranquil waterfront community has also topped Forbes’ “Best Place To Retire” back in 2018, and with good reason. First, housing here is relatively affordable, with a median price of around $246,000. However, it’s also worth noting that the living cost here is 5% higher than the national average. You’d still get the bang for your buck, though, considering that the town only has a population of 12,000 people, low crime rates, and amazing wooded landscapes. Plus, the city has several walking trails to promote an active lifestyle among its senior residence. It’s perfect for retirees who’ve spent their whole lives in bustling cities and now want to have some peace.
