Seniors may also enjoy an afternoon wandering through the city’s downtown pedestrian-only, open-air shopping district.
- Seniors can get around the city using the region’s Palm Tran public transportation system. Both fixed-route and paratransit services are available, and seniors aged 65 and older are eligible for reduced fares.

Seniors can expect their greatest expenses to be in the areas of housing, transportation and groceries.
- Luckily for seniors, the state’s tax-friendly policies may help offset the city’s high cost of living. Florida seniors aren’t subject to state sales or inheritance tax, and income from all types of retirement accounts, including Social Security benefits, pensions, IRAs and 401(k)s, is tax-free.
