There are specific Senior services, meetings, groups. As well as transportation and discounts. Most cities in Texas are helpful to Seniors. Issue is tremendous population growth over the last 15 years. Cost of living has escalated. Most affordable cities are smaller and in older neighborhoods. Seniors may not like the high speed roadways. They will like the polite and respectful Texans.
