In the gamer above: What are the most popular labels for grandparents? - Travel + Leisure publication has named Akron the "finest location to retire" in the U.S., with regular monthly costs coming in under $2,500 per month.

" No, it doesn't have the warm climates and white-sand beaches of Florida, but it does have a typical monthly home loan of simply $699," reads its post, published Monday, which points out cost price quotes assembled by the individual financing site GOBankingRates.

With other estimated costs like health care and groceries added in, a retired person would pay on average $2,361 each month to live there, according to the magazine.

Akron isn't the most cost effective city on the list - - that's Jackson, Mississippi - - however it's got a high livability score and it's close to popular locations like Stan Hywet Hall & & Gardens and Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the publication notes.
