Naperville named one of the state’s best cities for retirement
Naperville has been recently named one of the eight best cities in Illinois to retire, according to WorldAtlas.com.
The website looked at cites for their access to advanced medical care and opportunities to stay social and intellectually engaged without needing to travel long distances or constant driving.
It lauded Naperville for its Riverwalk, which is used regularly for walking, stretching or cycling rather than just sightseeing.
Various cultural opportunities from Naper Settlement’s outdoor history museums to an array of concerts performed at Wentz Concert Hall on North Central College’s campus also were cited.
Endeavor Health Edward Hospital has been repeatedly named among the nation’s top hospitals and features hundreds of private patient rooms, modern imaging and full inpatient and emergency services, the website said.
Naperville joins other communities, including Chicago, Aurora and Rockford, as among the best places in Illinois to retire, according to the listing.
