Where to Retire magazine has named Vero Beach as a top location for retirement. In the magazine’s January/February issue, the Indian River County municipality and seven other cities are included in a story called “8 Tempting Low-Tax Towns.” Vero Beach is the only Florida location to make the list and has arguably the best year-round weather of all eight cities. The magazine cites Florida’s lack of state income tax and Vero’s 7% sales tax as benefits for retirees. Other attributes such as quality health care, activities, culture and low cost housing were also factors in selecting Vero Beach. Centerline Homes, Florida’s premier homebuilder, already knew what Where to Retire has just confirmed. Their Vero Lago neighborhood offers single family homes, with a wealth of included features in an amenity-rich neighborhood, priced from just $189,900.

There were some great views to be had this morning by many residents along the East coast of Florida today. The space shuttle Endeavour and its crew of six astronauts launched today (Monday, May 16, 2011), at 8:56 a.m. on a mission to the International Space Station. This will be the last mission of Endeavour. Endeavour carried the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer and a pallet loaded with spare parts to the International Space Station during a 16-day mission. The AMS is a cutting-edge physics experiment designed to look for anti-matter in the cosmos and perhaps unlock the mystery of what makes up most of the mass in the universe.
Residents in our Vero Lago new home community had a very good view of the launch since they are about 50 miles from Cape Canaveral.
