Oceanside Ranks #2 In Best Place To Retire

Did you see the news? A report from Retirement Living announced Oceanside is the #2 best place to retire in all of California, and I’m not surprised one bit. With 20% of the city’s population age 65+, it’s a strong and vibrant senior community—full of connection, support, and coastal sunshine. Retirement Living spokesperson Jailyn Montero says “More seniors mean better access to age-friendly services, social programs, and health care tailored to older adults.”

What makes Oceanside stand out? We’ve got one of the lowest sales tax rates in the state at 8.25%, strong access to senior services and health care, and a lifestyle that just feels good. Think ocean breezes, walkable neighborhoods, and that peaceful energy that makes you want to stay awhile. The median home price is also aligned with the median home price for the state making it desirable to many.

Whether you’re dreaming of retirement yourself or helping a loved one find the right next chapter, I’d love to be your guide. Oceanside has so much to offer—and I’m here (an Oceanside native!) to help you explore it all.

Let’s chat when you’re ready.
