Bucking retirement trends, boomers are choosing Ann Arbor

Retirees are looking for college towns where they can keep their minds busy, instead of the golf course, and Ann Arbor is one of them. CNBC reports on the trend.

Excerpt:

"You really didn't expect Baby Boomers to flock to those staid retirement communities in Florida and Arizona, did you?...

Thus, other affordable college towns such as Ann Arbor, Mich. (University of Michigan); South Bend, Ind. (Notre Dame); Gainesville, Fla. (University of Florida); and State College, Pa. (Penn State) offer exactly what Boomers are looking for these days: cheap homes, a reasonable cost of living, livability and lots of culture and sports."
