You\u2019ve worked hard, perhaps for your whole life, and now that it\u2019s time to retire, that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll have plenty of: time. Time to travel, to take up that hobby you always wanted to, or perhaps just kick back and relax with a book. With all of these options available to you now, there is one question left unanswered: Where is the best place to do it?<br \/>\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\">Movoto Real Estate<\/a> Blog has been on a mission to answer that question. Today, we\u2019re looking at you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kansas<\/a>. Here are the 10 best places in the Sunflower State to retire to, starting with our winner, Pittsburg.<br \/>\n1. City of Pittsburg<br \/>\n2. City of Newton<br \/>\n3. Arkansas City<br \/>\n4. City of Haysville<br \/>\n5. El Dorado City (tie)<br \/>\n5. City of Wichita (tie)<br \/>\n7. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/leawood-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leawood<\/a><br \/>\n8. City of Derby (tie)<br \/>\n8. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/parsons-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parsons<\/a> (tie)<br \/>\n10. City of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/overland-park-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Overland Park<\/a><br \/>\nKansas locals can probably see that these results are as varied as can be; but for retirees, there are a few commonalities that all of these places share. Keep reading to find out the method behind this list, plus just why each of these 10 places ranked so well.<\/p>\n<h2>How We Created This Ranking<\/h2>\n<p>Whether we\u2019re ranking the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/best-college-towns\/\">college towns<\/a> or the best places to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/top-ten\/best-small-cities-to-retire-in\/\">retire<\/a>, we start out each of our lists by coming up with certain measurable criteria. Now, as you may or may not have gathered by now, we aren\u2019t exactly retirement aged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/blog\/meet-the-masterminds\/\">ourselves<\/a>, so rather than come up with a bunch of criteria that we might want for ourselves in 30 years, we went straight to our target audience and asked several retirement-aged individuals what they thought. We ended up with the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cost of living<\/li>\n<li>Crime rate<\/li>\n<li>Weather (average summer temperature and air quality)<\/li>\n<li>Ease of travel (distance to nearest international airport)<\/li>\n<li>Retiree amenities per capita (healthcare, adult education, dining, shopping, libraries, arts &amp; entertainment)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>From there, we used the U.S. Census to gather up all of the places in Kansas with populations over 10,000, and ended up with a total of 36 cities, towns, and Census Designated Places. We used the above criteria to rank each of our places from one to 36, with one being the best possible score. We then averaged these rankings into one Big Deal Score for each city; the lower the score, the better.<br \/>\nFor a complete list of how all 36 places ranked, mosey on down to the bottom of the post, otherwise, keep reading for a closer look at each of our 10 winners.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Pittsburg<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/1.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - Pittsburg, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/macahanc6r\/\">Eje Gustafsson<\/a><\/div>\n<p>Perhaps fittingly, this Crawford County city was once a productive place for coal mining, but has retired into a community based around education and government-related employment. As our analysis shows, it is also the best place for those lucky Kansas residents who are finished with employment altogether. That\u2019s because Pittsburg scored well in all of our criteria; specifically for its low crime rate and high number of retiree amenities, like libraries, restaurants, physicians, and places to shop\u2014places like the Meadowbrook Mall.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re looking for something a bit more adventurous than shopping, though, Pittsburg is also a great place to head outdoors, with some of the best weather in the state. Or better yet, why not head outdoors&#8230; in Fiji? Pittsburg is just 27 miles from the nearest international airport, so really, you could.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Newton<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/2.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - Newton, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Les_stockton<\/div>\n<p>This Harvey County city, just north of Wichita, is a Kansas retiree\u2019s dream. Not only are there tons of amenities\u2014places like Reba\u2019s Restaurant, the Newton Public Library, Homespun Crafts, and the Harvey County Historical Society\u2014the weather is also among some of the nicest in the state, with an average summer temperature of 75 degrees and an air quality score of 30 (the lower, the better).<br \/>\nNewton also ranked well for its low crime rate, just 2,680 crimes per 100,000 people, and for its low cost of living; a score of 80, where the national average is 100. To put that into perspective for you, just take a look at Hays, a city with roughly the same sized population, but with a cost of living of 85 and a crime rate of 3,018 crimes per 100,000. Not exactly the place you\u2019d want to spend your free time, eh?<\/p>\n<h2>3. Arkansas City<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - Arkansas City, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Wikipedia user Jeffrey Beall<\/div>\n<p>Whether you call it Arkansas City with an S, without an S, or just Ark City for short; this Cowley County city of just over 12,000 has as much to offer retirees as it does options for names.<br \/>\nFirst of all, with a cost of living of just 79, Arkansas City is one of the least expensive places on our entire list. It also came in with the best weather in the state, tied with Winfield, with a warm average summer temperature of 77 and an air quality score of 30.<br \/>\nWhile it isn\u2019t exactly a quick drive away from an international airport (the closest is nearly 130 miles away), the city itself is ripe with shopping and restaurant options, like some of the best barbecue in the area at Big N\u2019 Small\u2019s. You know what goes great with retirement? Ribs.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Haysville<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - Haysville, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Ty Nigh<\/div>\n<p>This suburb of Wichita has all of the benefits of being near a big city, without any of the drawbacks, which is why it ranked just above its neighbor to the north. For example, Haysville has a crime rate of just 2,799 crimes per 100,000 people, whereas Wichita, a much larger city, didn\u2019t exactly excel in that department.<br \/>\nSpeaking of departments, Haysville may have been a bit lacking as far as shopping and amenities go, but it more than makes up for this with some of the most ideal weather around, with an average summer temperature of 76 and an air quality of 30. Besides, it\u2019s just a short drive from the amenities in Wichita\u2014and the Wichita International Airport.<br \/>\nHere\u2019s the cherry on top: for those retirees looking to plant some roots someplace, Haysville may be the perfect option, with the \u201cBuild Haysville\u201d new home initiative, offering property tax rebates for new home construction.<\/p>\n<h2>5. El Dorado (tie)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/5a.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - El Dorado, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Clinton Steeds<\/div>\n<p>This progressive city of nearly 13,000 residents prides itself on its close-knit community feel, good school systems, tons of recreational options, and some of the finest art museums, galleries, and antique stores in the area. Oh, and its beautiful location at the edge of the Flint Hills doesn\u2019t hurt either.<br \/>\nIn our analysis, El Dorado ranked well for its high number of amenities per capita\u2014restaurants like Fiesta Mexicana, Susie\u2019s Chili Parlor, and other Fine Foods, and Daylight Donuts, more physicians than they know what to do with, and plenty of shopping options. It was also ranked among the best in the state for its weather, with an average summer temperature of 76 and air quality score of 30.<br \/>\nUnfortunately, El Dorado is quite a ways from the nearest international airport, 183 miles to be exact; but with weather like this, 14 parks, museums, and a well-stocked public library, who needs to go anywhere else?<\/p>\n<h2>5. Wichita (tie)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/5b.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - Wichita, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Garett Gabriel<\/div>\n<p>With a population of 385,577, Wichita is easily the largest city in our top 10\u2014which, at first, may not seem like the ideal place for a nice, quiet retirement. Consider this, however: it\u2019s the home of the Wichita Mid-Continent Airport, so even if you do get tired of the beautiful 76 degree summers, you are just a quick drive away from hopping on a plane to Mexico. Considering the city\u2019s size, Wichita also has a relatively low cost of living: an 82, compared to the national average of 100.<br \/>\nUnfortunately for the capital city, we gave points for retiree amenities per capita, rather than total amenities, which lowered its rank in this category. Even so, with thousands of of options for restaurants, shops, physicians, libraries, and the arts, retiring in Wichita sounds downright eventful. You just might have to share the space with a few others.<\/p>\n<h2>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/leawood-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leawood<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/7.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - Leawood, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Cameron Nordholm<\/div>\n<p>Leawood may be known as a wonderful place to raise a family, with its picturesque residential neighborhoods, good schools, and beautiful parks; but, as our analysis clearly shows, it is also an ideal community in which to retire, specifically for its high number of retiree amenities.<br \/>\nFor those foodies out there, this place is stuffed with restaurants, like Oklahoma Joe\u2019s and Parisi Cafe; for readers, it\u2019s brimming with books, with lots of options for libraries; and for those who are into shopping, there are plenty of options for that as well. Leawood was also ranked one of the safest places in the state, with a crime rate of just 1,444 crimes per 100,000 people.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Derby (tie)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/8a.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - Derby, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: City of Derby<\/div>\n<p>As Derby\u2019s website will proudly tell you, it is \u201cthe place to be.\u201d Clearly, it\u2019s the place to be for retirees. Not only are there more than 25 miles of hike and bike trails and recreational options like disc golf, bowling, and movies; but the weather here is also postcard-perfect, with an average summer temperature of 76 degrees and air quality of 30.<br \/>\nWith a cost of living of 85, it isn\u2019t exactly the lowest in the state; but for you out-of-staters thinking about moving to Kansas, it is a good 15 percent lower than the national average. It is also just a short drive away from the nearest international airport, which means that if, for some reason, you can\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for in Derby, you can always hop on a plane and head to Bali. Which, let\u2019s be honest, has what everyone is looking for.<\/p>\n<h2>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/parsons-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parsons<\/a> (tie)<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/8b.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - Parsons, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user Doug_Wertman<\/div>\n<p>This idyllic community among the flat plains and rolling hills of Labette County started out as a sleepy railroad town, and today maintains the same sense of community and tradition as it did way back when\u2014plus the nice addition of a top notch medical center, a community college, two museums, and a wonderful park system. In fact, Parsons ranks among the best when it came to retiree amenities per capita.<br \/>\nEven though Parsons is a bit of a drive from the closest international airport, it more than makes up for the commute with a cost of living of just 78\u2014the lowest on our list.<\/p>\n<h2>10. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/overland-park-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Overland Park<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/movotoblog\/2014\/04\/retire-kansas\/images\/10.jpg\" alt=\"Best Places to Retire to in Kansas - Overland Park, KS\" style=\"width:600px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"source\">Source: Flickr user CoffeePartyUSA<\/div>\n<p>With a population of over 178,000 residents, Overland Park is the second-largest place in the state, which, just like Wichita before it, may not sound entirely conducive to a quiet retirement. With neighborhoods like Nall Avenue, West 135th Street, and the Morse area, however, you\u2019ll feel more like you\u2019re vacationing someplace than in the hustle and bustle of a city.<br \/>\nAt the same time, some of the most retiree amenities per capita are just a short drive away in Overland Park; places like the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, the Central Resource Library, the Oak Park Mall, and, of course, some of the best Indian food your mouth has ever known at Korma Sutra. Plus, with an international airport just a quick 28 miles away, you can just hop in a plane and travel to India for the real deal.<br \/>\nOverland Park also knocked it, well, out of the park, with a crime rate of just 2,467 crimes per 100,000 residents. Considering the city\u2019s size, this is impressive, not just for retirees, but for anyone lucky enough to live here.<\/p>\n<h2>Where To Avoid<\/h2>\n<p>At the bottom of our list were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/kansas-city-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kansas City<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movoto.com\/gardner-ks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gardner<\/a>, Hutchinson, Dodge City, and, the very worst, Junction City. So. if you\u2019re in one of these Kansas places and getting ready to retire, your first move might be to, well, to move.
