Ranked #6: New Jersey

Verde Energy

Most people believe that New Jersey is more welcoming to live, considering it’s just a train ride away from Manhattan, depending on where you’re coming from of course. But there are higher prices to pay in the Garden State than a number of others across the country. Taxes are higher, toll amounts have risen, and violent crime is rampant here, something that hasn’t changed over the past few decades. And it would seem that the closer you are to the Big Apple, the higher the cost of homes are as well! In fact, some homes in the Newark city proper cost as much as $400,000, and that’s just the average. Retirees don’t only have to worry about the crazy tax rates in Jersey, but the crime, pollution, traffic and majorly harsh winters too.
