Plymouth Massachusetts

One of the first stories we learn as American school children is that of the pilgrims' voyage across the Atlantic aboard the Mayflower, and their landing at Plymouth Rock. Today the Town of Plymouth offers retirees a chance to experience part of the United States' early history and New England's seasonal charm. Population: 56,468 according to the 2010 U.S. Census.

Climate: Plymouth's coastal location causes high humidity year round, and warmer temperatures than many inland locations in New England. Plymouth receives 51.06 inches of precipitation each year.

Cost of living: http://www.areavibes.com states that the cost of living in Plymouth is 14.9% greater than the Massachusetts average, and 31% greater than the national average.

Housing costs: Housing is likewise expensive, where the median home cost in Plymouth is $287,100, 32.4% greater than the national average.

Colleges and Universities: Retirees will appreciate the small class sizes at Curry College where faculty members share their expertise and encourage group interaction http://www.curry.edu/.

Transportation:A fun method of transportation is The Island Queen http://www.islandqueen.com/, a ferry which sails daily from Falmouth to Martha's Vineyard. The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) http://www.mbta.com/ provides rail service to Boston and other destinations.

Travel and tourism: Retirees will want to stop by the Visitor Information Center on Water Street. It contains a wealth of information including brochures about attractions, restaurants, shopping, and events to help navigate around “America's Hometown”. http://www.visit-plymouth.com/
