Perfect Place
to Retire
Whether you are looking for a
tax-friendly haven, easy access
to medical resources and military
benefits, year-round golf and
pickleball, lifelong learning or
meaningful ways to give back,
Savannah has you covered.
Savannah offers retirees a blend of
Southern charm, beauty and relaxed
living. With its walkable historic
streets, mild climate, vibrant arts scene,
welcoming community and affordability,
this Georgia gem makes it easy to
slow down, stay engaged and savor
everyday life.
Savannah enjoys a relatively modest
cost of living, as the rankings on
Page 14 show. Georgia has also been
chipping away at its state income taxes
for the past several years now, with
a rate of around 5%, with more cuts
planned. Seniors also have access to
a variety of property tax exemptions.
The affordability news is even better
for military retirees, who will find the
first $65,000 of their military pensions
exempted from the income tax. The
U.S. Army's Hunter Army Airfield in
Savannah gives military retirees and
their dependents access to a PX and
a commissary, and the Savannah VA
Outpatient Clinic provides primary care,
mental health services, physical therapy
and various medical specialties.
You'll also enjoy your retirement more if
you know that healthcare services are
available and accessible to you. Coastal
Care Partners takes the usual home
healthcare services to the next level with
a concierge-style focus. Smart Senior, a
program of St. Joseph's/Candler Health
System, presents seminars, health
screenings and social opportunities
designed to inform and engage.
Senior Citizens Inc. stands at the
forefront of supporting successful
aging across income levels and life
stages. Its offerings range from the
intellectually engaging courses of
The Learning Center to respite
programs that provide meaningful
support for caregivers and individuals
facing memory challenges. The
organization also administers Meals on
Wheels, recently marking the delivery
of its 7 millionth meal to homebound
residents. At The Learning Center,
quarterly catalogs feature courses
spanning history, art, literature and
more — with recent topics including
genealogy for beginners, the history
of jazz, Mah Jongg and World War I.
