Arlington No. 10
Most Affordable City
for Early Retirement
SmartAsset compared cities
across ten factors, looking at a
combination of cost-of-living
and quality-of-living factors to
rank where people could retire
early. With high scores for low
taxes and plenty of access to
healthcare, Arlington claimed
SmartAsset’s No. 10 spot on the
list.
Arlington Celebrates 35th Year of National Night Out
Neighborhoods across The American Dream City celebrated the 35th anniversary
of National Night Out on October 2, 2018. Block parties included potluck dishes,
children’s activities, and the chance to meet with Arlington public safety officials.
Residents of the Stagecoach Estates neighborhood in southwest Arlington had a
little help with their gathering thanks to the City’s Block Party Trailer.
“It’s really an opportunity for us not only to have parties in our neighborhood,
but for everybody to have a party at the same time,” Arlington Police Chief Will
Johnson said. “It shows solidarity from neighborhood to neighborhood, no matter
where you are in our community, that relationships matter.”
“Arlington ranks highly
because of how tax-friendly
Texas is to retirees. This city
also offers residents plenty of
medical access to healthcare.
This city ranks in the top 10
for medical facilities per 1,000
residents.”
If retiring in your 50s or early
60s is something you’ve always
dreamed of, The American
Dream City may be the place to
spend your golden years.
