The April 2, 2009 edition of the Auburn Villager features an article about the magazine "Where to Retire", a magazine aimed at helping people with retirement relocation choices, profiled Opelika/Auburn as one of the top areas in its May/June issue.
According to The Villager, Mary Lu Abbott, editor of "Where to Retire" said "Auburn/Opelika make up the fastest-growing metropolitan area in Alabama, with new housing developments, entertainment venues and an array of dining and retail options." She went on to say "Auburn University is the focal point for many activities, offering seniors educational opportunities at its Osher Lifelong Learner Center, as well as theater performances, sporting events, lecture series and a vibrancy that makes Auburn a great place for retirees to stay active."
"Where to Retire" was first published in 1992 with the goal of helping its readers find the ideal place to retire. The magazine covers the best retirement regions, towns, and master-planned communities.
