Retirement Living
Standing on the bluffs of the Mississippi River, Vicksburg is one of the South's most diverse and friendly cities.
Steeped in history and committed to progress, the city and surrounding county offer a panorama of people, cultures and opportunity to make the most of a new beginning.
Vicksburg is an interesting mixture of historic charm and modern facilities, with antebellum homes, museums and quaint brick streets. It is a town that lies on the intersection of highways and interstates, a town whose character is shaped by the mighty Mississippi River. It is 5 hours east of Dallas, TX and 6 hours west of Atlanta, GA, and best of all, you can drive to New Orleans, LA or Memphis, TN in about 3 hours, all by interstate highway.
Vicksburg is one of Mississippi's 20 Certified Retirement Communities, having received its certification through the State of Mississippi in January, 1997. The "certification" designation indicates that Vicksburg possesses all of the amenities that retirees are looking for when making a relocation decision.
Vicksburg boasts a low crime rate, low taxes, a low overall cost of living and a newly built state-of-the-art medical facility with two campuses situated for easy access to residents and the surrounding area. Vicksburg offers affordable and available housing for almost any price range and preference, from apartment living to stately mansions.
If you are just looking to make new friends or get involved in the local community, Vicksburg offers a multitude of civic clubs and volunteer opportunities. A local senior center, country club and YMCA are all excellent opportunities to meet new people or get involved. Vicksburg has a very active local AARP Chapter. Numerous organized activities are offered by the Chapter including seminars, exercise classes, picnics, mentoring, health and crime fairs, as well as various social activities throughout the year.Interested in making Vicksburg your new retirement home?
