Where to Retire, the only magazine in the U.S. geared toward helping people with retirement relocation decisions, has name Lake Tahoe as one of the best places to retire.

The July-August issue will be available nationwide on June 19.

Magazine editor Mary Lu Abbott said Lake Tahoe possesses qualities important to today’s retirees.

“Lakeside communities, such as Lake Tahoe, offer retirees a laid-back lifestyle away from big-city hassles and with all the recreational perks of water access. While our eight featured towns share many similarities, including proximity to health-care services, shopping and entertainment, they vary greatly in climate and setting — from the mountains to the desert. Another bonus: For the water-oriented, retiring around an inland lake is often less costly than a place on the coast,” Abbott said.
