Good place to retire for Asian Americans

[Anonymous]

I am a white jewish academic and have a lot of asian colleagues. This is a great question. I have lived in many of this places I actually think Texas around big cities (Dallas and Houston ) are good suggestions. They have large asian populations and reasonable COL, and good climate for the most part. Washington State could work inland, and many of my colleagues prefer the west coast in general. I have no idea -- is Toronto / environs a possibility? I also think the midwest may be worth a look - in addition to Ann Arbor, Chicago suburbs out toward Argonne, if you are ok with that weather.

I would not do NC or Richmond, honestly. Cary isn't close enough to research Triangle and NC gets rural/southern really quickly. I'd personally go with New England over the south unless being warm is a major need.

What about Arizona? colorado is also surprisingly diverse in places -- the college towns / Boulder for example, but going up in cost. Also would consider Atlanta/Georgia area maybe before NC, but same problem - you have to really choose carefully.

What do you think about Atlanta? Pretty large Asian populations with H Mart, Great Wall and other Asian markets. Cost of living is relatively low and northern Atlanta is more blue than red

My friend's Asian parents retired there (from the NYC area) and seem pretty happy. At the same time, when I was in town they took me to a PF Chang's.
