Is Lexington-Fayette urban county a good place to retire?
My wife and I are planning to retire in the next few years. We're considering Lexington-Fayette urban county because of lower cost of living. Weather is moderate — about 57F average.
Cost of living looks pretty reasonable. How's the healthcare situation? Any retiree communities?

Great post! One thing I'd mention is the west side tends to be more affordable. Makes a big difference.

I work in finance and finding a job wasn't hard. Took about 5 months.

Respectfully disagree about the cost of living assessment. In my experience, it's been pretty safe in my area.

I'd add that healthcare options are better than most cities this size. Otherwise spot on!
