LBI Named Among The "100 Most Popular Places to Retire"
Long Beach Island is a popular spot not just for vacationers but retirees as well.
LBI was ranked 59 of 100 of the most popular places to retire in America by Where To Retire magazine (January/February Issue). LBI was the only NJ area to make the top 100. Phoenix, AZ. Ranked number one and Fort Walton Beach, FL. was last.
Many retirees relocate to LBI and spend the late spring through the fall at their LBI home and the winter months at second homes in warmer climates like Florida. Many of my clients who are retirees purchased fairly large homes to accommodate their children and grandchildren.
In addition to such things as the relaxed lifestyle, diverse recreation and proximity to metropolitan areas like New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City, retirees often choose LBI as a home base for their grown children and grandchildren. Their LBI home serves as a place for their family to reunite. Many retirees have fond memories of vacations at the shore with their children. While these buyers’ children have grown up, had families of their own and maybe spread out all over the country they know that they can count on their children and their grandchildren to return to visit them in the summertime year after year.
