Sycamore Named A Top in Affordability for Retirement

You may find it hard to believe, but Sycamore, Illinois was named one of the top ten places to retire according to U.S. News & World Report. Anyone who lives here or just passes through can appreciate the charm and personality of this small town complete with a historic and thriving downtown district. And now they have been recognized nationwide. Mayor Ken Mundy doesn’t seem to be one bit surprised. “We’ve got a growing number of retirees here”, Mundy said. “I know people who have left and come back”.

Sycamore, Illinois was the only city from the Midwest to be represented on the list. Sycamore is in the company of many cities that are in warmer climates such as Arizona, California, Hawaii and Florida just to name a few. Sycamore, Illinois is a desirable location due to its free busing transportation for senior citizens and close proximity to major retail shopping, an 18 – hole golf course, a public library, bicycle friendly nature trail, recreation and the I-88 corridor.
