An important factor for anyone to consider when retiring is the cost of living. Fortunately, Orlando has one of the lower costs of living out of all the other similar retirement locations throughout the country. In fact, the median home value in Central Florida is less than the national average, making it an affordable place to buy a home. And don’t forget taxes! Florida has no personal income tax. This is a major factor to most when choosing where to retire.
