Bloomington has been long been recognized as a great place to live and to visit. What you may not know is that the Bloomington area has also been recognized as a great place to retire! Listed in Rand McNally's Retirement Places Rated, Bloomington was number 8 in the nation based on climate, money matters, personal safety, services and housing. Warren Bland's recent book Retire in Style: 60 Outstanding Places Across the USA and Canada named Bloomington among the best places in North American to retire:
"In reality, this small southern Indiana college town is one of America's best places for an active retirement. Indiana University, the scenic hill country surrounding Bloomington and the city itself offer an unbeatable combination of culture and recreation to suit every taste from grand opera and ballet to basketball and fishing. All in all, Bloomington is a safe and friendly place that offers a plethora of cultural and recreational amenities at low cost."
