Baby boomers are in good company in Texas. The Texas baby boomer population totals over 5.6 million or about 28 percent of the total Texas population. There is plenty of affordable housing and a cost of living that is below the national average.

Texas has nearly as many cities, towns and communities as stars in the sky. As a place to retire, Texas offers tremendous choices. Whether you prefer a large urban area or a small town environment with a sense of community and civic involvement, Texas has it all with many areas where all the lights, sounds, and bustle drop away into quiet desert night.

Southern Texas in the Brownsville area has been a magnet for baby boomers, first a winter homes and then as permanent retirement living.
