A drive through the historic downtown of Bel Air takes a person back in time. The quaint restaurants and shops that line the streets give the feeling of a bygone era, and many seniors find this is a great place to settle down for retirement. Of the 10,119 residents in the community, 20.6% are aged 65 and over, indicating that it's very appealing to retirees.

Bel Air has 25 assisted living facilities serving the community, providing seniors with a range of options. The average cost for assisted living care based on the 2020 Genworth Cost of Care Survey is $5,000 per month in the Baltimore region, which includes Bel Air. While this is higher than the nationwide median, it's on par with Maryland's statewide average. Bel Air's charm and close proximity to Baltimore's big-city amenities help make it an attractive retirement destination.



The SeniorScore for Bel Air, Maryland



Retirees in Bel Air live in a senior-friendly community based on its SeniorScore. This score uses over 100 factors to rate the city in four categories including Recreation & Leisure, Health & Safety, General Quality of Life and Finances. Bel Air has a SeniorScore of 76. This is higher than the national average of 72, but it's slightly lower than the state’s score of 78.

Of the four categories that make up a city’s SeniorScore, Bel Air rates best for Finances with a score of 75. Even though it has a high cost of living and senior care, tax rates in the region are close to average and the income levels are much higher than national averages. General Quality of Life ranked the next highest with a 67 due to the area's mild temperatures and good public transit options, but the poor air quality and water quality cost the city points in this category.

Bel Air earned a score of 65 in the Health & Safety category. The large number of Medicare-registered doctors helped this score, but the fact that it has only two hospitals nearby lowered it somewhat. Bel Air has average crime rates, making it fairly safe for seniors.

The city received its lowest of 63 for Recreation & Leisure largely because it has just six parks, four shopping centers and two movie theaters. However, the city does have 49 golf courses nearby, 108 churches and 63 health clubs to provide recreational and social opportunities for active seniors.
