Located less than an hour northwest of Orlando, Leesburg, Florida, is a small town with a population of 27,000, including approximately 6,600 seniors aged 65 and older. With warm winter weather, a lower-than-average cost of living and a small-town feel, there are a number of reasons why retirees may want to call Leesburg home.
With a SeniorScore of 78, Leesburg has a higher score than the state average of 76 and the national score of 72. Developed to give older adults and their caregivers a way to evaluate locations on how well they meet seniors' needs, SeniorScore uses four categories to break down the overall score. Of these, Leesburg scored highest for General Quality of Life. Temperatures are pleasant throughout the year, although the area does receive high levels of rainfall. Air quality is above average, and the city is not densely populated. Numerous seniors and a moderate number of local amenities help the city earn its second-highest rating of 73 for Health & Safety. There are four nearby parks, 65 golf courses, 61 grocery stores and four shopping malls.
Leesburg scores lower for Finances, mostly a result of higher property taxes combined with lower incomes. However, seniors living here can save in a number of other ways: there is no state tax, city sales taxes are low, and home care is also comparatively inexpensive. The overall cost of living is also quite low. And while the high rates of property and violent crime cost Leesburg additional points in the Health & Safety category, the area has other attractive qualities, such as numerous health care providers.
This guide provides a discussion of home care in Leesburg, as well as resources to help seniors live with independence and dignity in their homes.
