Older Americans are increasingly relocating from urban and suburban homes to rural properties across various states, seeking affordability and a peaceful lifestyle. Amid high home prices and mortgage rates, this trend allows retirees to stretch their retirement funds further. Real estate agents note that many are drawn back to regions they visited fondly, and the lower cost of living—including expenses like property taxes and groceries—makes the move financially appealing. The shift also reflects a desire for a quieter, community-centric life away from urban chaos, reminiscent of simpler times, as represented by the fictional town of Mayberry.
