Good place to retire. Low crime and cheap.

I retired and moved here in 2008 because it was a cheap place to live and my house cost only $70,000 in '08. I found through time that the city is low in crime, has a lot of good restaurants and shopping. Downtown is 95% restored and a great place to walk my dog. Nay Aug park is a city park and a nice green oasis that host occasional events. Another thing that I like about the city is the low traffic volume.
We are about two and a half hours from Manhattan and around the same to Philadelphia. The local airport is fifteen minutes from my house and never congested. I'd also like to state that my house taxes are only $1450 a year and no income taxes for government pensions.
