A Fort Lauderdale suburb, Lauderdale Lakes offers seniors a very low cost of living in a region known for its sunshine and warmth. Senior-friendly tax laws let retirees keep all of their retirement income, whether from Social Security, pensions or 401Ks, and seniors also save on assisted living compared with elsewhere in the country.
