| Annotation | The uniqueness of college towns as potential retirement communities are identified and discussed. Differences between US college towns and and Sunbelt state retirement destinations regarding the factors of most concern to retiree migrants in their decision-making for relocation were compared. The results showed no differences between the college towns and the Sunbelt state retirement cities. Only a few differences existed between the college town sub-groups. The findings are of value to the retirement living industry, local government and chambers of commerce in their efforts in marketing college towns as prospective retirement communities. (RH). |
