Normally when these things come out the Treasure Valley gets incredibly high marks. NOPE!! Not this time. If you are looking to retire is Boise a great place to do that?

According to Bankrate.com Boise doesn't even make the TOP 50 best cities to retire in. Measured by the cost of living, walkablity, crime, taxes, healthcare, weather and culture Boise unlike most "Best Of Lists" did not make the grade.

Arlington VA ranked number one followed by, Franklin TN, West Des Moines IA, Sarasota FL, and Scottsdale AZ.

“We found that smaller cities and suburbs fared the best,” said Bankrate.com analyst Jill Cornfield. “Most seniors prefer to live in these types of communities because they offer access to big-city amenities without as much hustle, bustle and crime.”

Even though we didn't make this list of great, Niagara Falls NY was deemed the worst place to spend your golden years.
