The Best Regions in the World for Retirement 2025

would love to know more about retiring in Nice or other towns in the French Riv from a rental perspective and the monthly rental amount to expect
Hello,
The real estate market in Nice is a bit tighter than other cities but not impossible to rent. If you rent in the historic center, you can expect a starting rent of $1600 for a 2-bedroom if not slightly more. The figures can go up quite a bit the closer you get to the seaside. Many look to go a bit further out of the center and take the tram or bus in to town. It's a wonderful city!

As a single woman, I am looking for safe locations to move to that will stretch my dollars. I am looking for strong expat communities for singles, if possible. I prefer to rent, as this will be my first time living outside of the US. Willing to go car-free. Also concerned about Panama.

We are just starting our retirement. We plan on traveling, most often in Europe and Central America, for 1-3 months at a time. We are interested in furnished rental resources other than VRBO and AirBNB. Do you have any recommendations?

Can one find a long term rental (3 to 6 months) in Portugal in order to get a better feel of the country?
Yes, search Facebook groups like Long Term Rentals in Portugal and others or reach out to expats on these groups to see if they know someone who has a rental.

Strongly attracted to both Portugal and Italy. From a tax perspective which is better? I'm an artist that makes a minor amount of money from selling my art. I plan to do so in the place I finally retire to. I also will make money renting my properties in Charleston SC. Will the money I make be taxed in Portugal or Italy if I take residence there?
In Portugal you will be taxed so you should reach out to a tax expert.

Is there any ballroom dancing in Cozumel?
I've never been asked that before and honestly I've never looked. There is plenty of salsa and places to go dancing and dance studios offering all styles of dance so if you love dancing you'll be able to find something.

One of the best things for me about moving to France, Portugal, Spain or Montenegro is going car free. I have previously lived in the UK, Europe, Latin American and Asia and never owned a car in those years. So I don't want a place where I need a car, but I don't want a huge city with the expense, noise, etc. So what are the best car free places in those areas?
for Portugal I'd suggest plan and trip and look around since only you can decide where you want to live. Train travel is affordable throughout the country and there are buses and uber. Do keep in mind that all of the country is cobblestoned which can be dangerous as we age.

I hear a lot about selling everything before a move abroad? Is that really necessary? Kindly elaborate.
Hello,
Every situation is different, but a lot of people prefer to sell most of their stuff before moving. The fees to ship, depending on the amount of things you'd like to bring, can be very costly - extra customs charges might also apply. I do know someone who moved all her belongings to France... it's a certain budget and a lot of paperwork, but can be done. I moved with just my clothes and a few momentos and restocked here. I could find everything I needed.
