Thinking about retiring in a place that’s safe, beautiful, and thriving? Look no further than Oro Valley, just north of Tucson! 

According to a November 2024 report by GoBankingRates.com, Oro Valley has been named the #1 safest and wealthiest retirement community in the U.S. That’s a huge win for our local community!


So, what makes Oro Valley stand out? 

For starters, retirees here earn an average income of $52,098—nearly double the national average. Homes are also in high demand, with a median home value of $525,380. While the cost of living is 19% higher than the national average, the town’s amenities, safety, and strong sense of community make it worth every penny.


Speaking of safety, Oro Valley’s crime rates are incredibly low. 

Now, we do have to say that we cannot tell you crime rates to avoid any chance of us steering you into any certain direction, though we can point you to a place to check out your own statistics on crime. So, please be sure to see Oro Valley's website to review crime rates on your own, however, here's what the article said: the town’s violent crime rate is 84% lower than the national average, and property crime is 40% lower. Compare that to nearby Tucson, where crime rates are significantly higher, and it’s easy to see why retirees are choosing Oro Valley. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful retirement or a strong investment in real estate, Oro Valley continues to shine as an unbeatable choice!
