The City View Television Show Highlights Best Cities for Veterans

Virginia Beach, VA is the top big city for veterans


America is a very large country and within it are cities which offer its military veterans great places to live, work, play, get a higher education, receive excellent medical care, and enjoy a greater quality of life. The City View television show highlights the best cities for veterans.

Retired military veterans may relocate to cities where they were once stationed because the city was welcoming to them and offered great services. This is, in part, why San Antonio, Texas, Virginia Beach, Virginia and Colorado Springs, Colorado are so favorable to vets.

Mid-sized cities are also good choices. Alexandria and Arlington, Virginia are the top two mid-sized cities to consider when military retirement is near. Centennial, Colorado is third.

City View looks at some of the other factors to consider before relocating to a new city after military retirement: housing costs, crime, schools for children, inexpensive events to attend, higher number of federal and non-federal jobs, low unemployment rate, and livability. Some cities have great public transportation systems which can lower the cost of owning and maintaining a vehicle. Some are located near areas where residents can take advantage of nearby attractions. There are so many great places to life if one is a retired service member or about to retire. Explore the top five in each category at the jump.
