The first wave of baby boomers—men and women born in 1946—will reach retirement age next year. More than 3 million Americans will turn 65 in 2011, the largest group to become eligible for Social Security in a single year.
Most of these prospective retirees are expected to remain in their current homes. Only 4 percent of the nation's 36.8 million senior citizens (65 or older) moved to a new residence in 2008, the latest year analyzed by the U.S. Census Bureau.
But that's still a significant number—1.4 million seniors searching for the ideal place to spend their golden years. Which communities do these retirees find most attractive?
Their No. 1 choice, according to a new study by Portfolio.com, is Bradenton-Sarasota, Florida, which earns the designation as America's most popular retirement destination.
