Welcome to 2014, and if you are one of those 76.4 million baby boomers it's time to think about retirement. Every 8 seconds another baby boomer turns 60, the average baby boomer will live to be 83, and 59% plan to relocate. I say "Why not Texomaland?" According to a recent Market Watch article published on Yahoo Finance, the Sherman/Denison area ranks 9th on a list of 10 budget cities nationally where you can retire in comfort. $79,400 is the Median home cost, there's no state income tax, average mortgage payment is $303, and property tax median is only $1158.
Texomaland has it all. We offer a stable community with plenty of opportunity to volunteer, a robust Real Estate market offering all kinds of project work for those so inclined, Hagerman Wildlife Refuge in Texas and Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma, and LAKE TEXOMA..... the 8th largest lake in the United States.
Now let's take it down a notch. We have excellent Health Care facilities, plenty of shopping, antiques, warm weather, and a World Class Casino! Oh, and we also have LAKE TEXOMA with over 580 miles of shoreline and some of the best fishing in the U. S.. In addition, we are only an hour's drive from DFW, a couple hours to Oklahoma City, and not much further to Tulsa. So if you want to retire in a great place but still want some of those things available only in a big city, Texomaland is the place for you.
