According to a recent blog by The Huffington Post, Kansas City is ranked among the top 15 foodie towns in the US for retirees. Described as a place for those who love blues, arts, and barbecue, Kansas City is the place for you to retire if this means you! The city is growing and the food scene is definitely thriving, thanks to supper clubs, farm-to-table eateries, and saucy barbecue.

Housing values are extremely affordable, so if you are thinking of moving to Kansas City, plan on a home in the $124k price range. Property taxes are also very affordable, which is an important consideration for retirees on a fixed budget.
