Finding a great place to retire is very important. Is it a safe community that has services for seniors that are nearby? Are there medical services that seniors can use? Shopping? Roadways that are less stressful to drive? etc. These are just some of the issues that pop up when you think about retirement.

 

 

According to Stacker, "A 2024 analysis of Census Bureau data by HireAHelper found that in 2023, more than 338,000 Americans relocated upon retirement, the highest number in three years. Though some are heading to urban centers like San Antonio and Miami, others are drawn to smaller towns and cities."

The town selected for New Jersey is Sea Girt. Stacker said "Sea Girt's biggest draw has to be its titular beach, which is open year-round and includes a boardwalk and historic lighthouse. It also has a variety of restaurants, cafes, and shops, some dating back to the 19th century."

 

Located in Monmouth County, Sea Girt is a beautiful town and their lighthouse is a local landmark. In addition:

  • Population: 2,031
  • Homeowners: 89% of the population
  • Renters: 11% of the population
  • Median household income: $218,438
