List: Best places to retire

After another brutal Michigan winter, many of you might be dreaming of a place to retire with milder winters, or no winter at all!

In the past, Florida had earned a reputation as a hot spot for retirees, but the tide continues to turn against the Sunshine State.

Instead, researchers often focus on hot spots in the western United States, and other locations with comfortable lifestyles. Bankrate.com has just released it's newest list of the best places to retire. It focused on things like weather, walkability, crime rate, health care quality, and tax rates.

While the cities are from many different areas, Arizona finished with three cities in the top four. Florida is not entirely forgotten, but only one city (Cape Coral) made the top ten.

Here's a list of the Top 10 Cities for retirement. Some spot on this list might be just right for you.
