6. Massachusetts
This New England state is perfect if you are seeking diversity. The state has a lot to offer, from exciting active adult retirement communities to charming seacoast villages and the wonderful Berkshire Mountains. The climate in Massachusetts is known as humid-continental. Summers here are hot and the winters are cold, with frequent snowstorms. So if you love snow then this is the place to be!
Compared to some other states, the cost of living in Massachusetts is relatively high, so this state might be for those who have a bit more to spend. However, there are regions on the outskirts of big cities like Boston, where you can find a house for a good price. Federal, military, state and local pensions are exempt from tax.
