RETIREMENT

Named one of the best places to retire by “Where to Retire Magazine,” Auburn is the kind of community that quickly feels like home.

Plentiful opportunities to enjoy outdoor activities all year long, access to first-rate health care facilities, availability of lifelong learning options, and the proximity to Auburn University and its many community amenities make Auburn the ideal place to enjoy retirement.
