America’s Best Bargain College Towns for Boomers
Growing up in the Bay Area of northern California, there were two-lane roads, very little traffic on the Bayshore Freeway (Hwy 101), and fruit orchards galore. The Pepsi Generation was just getting started building Apple computers, and hard drive still meant a long day out on the road. Now, I’m 50 years old, my home turf is called Silicon Valley, and instead of cola kid, they call me a baby boomer. And as I get older, I won’t retire in the traditional sense like my parents. Instead of playing bridge or golf at the country club, I conduct conference calls, send emails, check my tee time on my PDAcell phone, and catch bits and snatches of news via satellite radio in my Lexus SC430 while grabbing a Venti, nonfat, decaf, one pump, no whip Mocha at the Starbuck’s drive-thru.
Slow down Not a chance! Like most boomers, I’m ready to start something new, and I want to do it in a mid-sized town that has an overall mild climate, lots of educational opportunities, plenty of local andor university-based arts and culture, and a cost of living that is equal to or below the national average cost of living. Utilizing statistical and anecdotal data, the staff at FindYourSpot.com determined three of America’s best bargain college towns for boomers.
