San Jose, California is
the 3rd largest city in California and home to “Silicon
Valley” which is full of major technology companies
of all sorts.
San Jose has a very Mediterranean climate
with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Most of the rain
that does fall (which isn't much) comes during the winter
months. This gorgeous weather is attractive since its
very easy to get to the ocean and enjoy sunny days and
sandy beaches.
Since San Jose is a city full of technology
companies, you're going to find a lot of eclectic restaurants,
clubs, bars, and other hip venues. This is great for
retirees who want to stay young and on the cutting-edge
of American culture.

Many consider San Jose
California to be among the best retirement cities in
the U.S. Here are some other reasons to choose living
in San Jose.
Social Opportunities:
studies have shown that a good group of friends is more
important to a happy retirement than money or health.
San Jose offers many opportunities with civic groups
and hobby clubs to generate a solid core group of friends.
These friends can help ward off the problems of aging
like dementia and health issues.
Public Transportation:
rural living isn't good for seniors who can't drive
since they require someone's help to get around. The
expenses of transportation add up quickly for fixed-income
seniors so the public transportation of San Jose is
quite beneficial. Even better is that most public transit
systems have senior rates that are much cheaper than
normal. Airports in the San Jose CA area include Reid
Hillview Airport, Oakland International Airport and
the San Jose International Airport.
Access to Medical Services:
it's pretty obvious that if you live near a hospital,
you're more likely to survive a medical emergency. Despite
how your mind feels, the body starts to break down and
there's a good chance you'll need a hospital visit during
your retirement years. Living in San Jose is great since
there are more specialists and medical services available
and at cheaper rates. Hospitals include Santa Clara
Valley Medical Center, Good Samaritan Hospital, Regional
Medical Center of San Jose, Kaiser Permanente, Mayview
Hospital.
Access to San Jose Shopping:
San Jose offers walking distance to most businesses
that you'll ever use in your retirement years. Even
if you need to travel, there are a lot more shopping
centers and discount stores in urban areas. Plenty of
shopping in the San Jose area including Eastridge Mall
- San Jose - shopping, Gilroy Premium Outlets - Gilroy,
Great Mall Of The Bay Area - Milpitas, McCarthy Ranch
- Milpitas, Oakridge Westfield - San Jose, San Jose

Alto, Town and Country Village - Palo Alto, Valley Fair

San Jose Caliofornia.
San Jose CA Fitness:
exercise is critical to keeping healthy during your
retirement years. San Jose CA has beautiful weather
and every type of fitness facility from standard fitness
centers to niche fitness places like indoor rock climbing
walls so there's something for everyone. Even if you
want to exercise on your own, there's tons of parks
or indoor malls to enjoy walking in including the Santa
Clara County's Parks and Recreation and Paramount’s
Great America.
San Jose CA Continuing Education:
today’s seniors know the importance of exercising
their brains, as well as their bodies. Urban living
provides access to a wide range of classes, through
local universities, museums, city recreation departments,
etc. Enrolling in these types of courses can help stave
off the depression that some people feel once they stop
working full time.
Food and Entertainment:
retirement should be full of activities you never had
a chance to enjoy while working. Dinners out to fancy
restaurants or weekend getaways to a nearby city or
historical site are all possible living in a city. Usually,
cities have tons of entertainment venues like theaters
and museums and there's always something going on.
