AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Augusta made it to Forbes’ 2023 list for the best cities to retire in.
Forbes took dozens of factors into , including crime, air quality, amenities and culture.
Augusta is described on the list as a green Savannah River city with high doctor availability and a comfortable climate, with the median home price of $173,000, which is 53% cheaper than the national average.
The site, however, lists a few cons of Augusta, such as serious crime above national average and says the city is not very walkable or bikeable.
Two other cities in Georgia made Forbes’ list: Athens and Savannah.
Greenville was the only city in South Carolina to make the list.
