San Marcos is a community of 64,776 people located along I-35 within the Austin metro area. Named one of the Best Places to Retire by Forbes, this community boasts a low cost of living, which makes it easier for residents to stretch their retirement savings. It also has a high number of doctors and an excellent climate. The state’s lack of income and estate taxes are another perk to retirees. The beautiful San Marcos River runs through town and provides recreational opportunities. Rio Vista Park is a popular place to take an evening stroll along the river.
Because of the low cost of living in the area, San Marcos has a fairly affordable cost for senior care of just $4,250 a month for assisted living. The 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey indicates this is less than the national average of $4,300 but slightly more than the state’s average of $3,998.
