1. Paradise Valley, Arizona

Insider Monkey Score: 4

Cost of Living Index: 113

Tax-friendliness: Moderately tax-friendly

Median House Price: $4,800,000

Health Grade: F

Named Paradise Valley, a retirement move to the city may prove otherwise if the budget is not in check. A failing healthcare grade, cost of living 13% higher than the national average, and median house prices at $4.8 million, Paradise Valley requires a big fat check to guarantee peaceful living. Unfortunately, for most American retirees, this is not a possibility, and so Paradise Valley should be taken with caution.
