11. Davidson

Davidson is a small college town that is presented as North Carolina’s best alternative to Chapel Hill. What retirees will love about the place is that it is small enough for everyone to connect as it is highly walkable – and supposedly made for pedestrians and bike riders. There are tons of greens, the cost of living is slightly lower than Chapel Hill and Charlotte and its big city attractions are only a little over 20 miles away. The median home cost for Davidson is listed at $235,900.
