largest city, it doesn’t break the bank to
settle down in the Fountain City. With a
cost of living more than 25 percent lower
than the national average, your hard-

The State of Georgia also has favorable
tax laws for retirees, which sweetens
the deal even more.
Housing Options

The real estate market in Columbus is
stable and affordable with a variety of
residential styles available across the

convenience and support of an independent

care community. Whatever your needs are
and however your needs change, Columbus
has the right option for you.
