Delaware might be the most quietly surprising state on the active adult map.

Small state, yes—but it punches well above its weight. About 32 active adult communities for under a million residents. And the tax picture is one of the best in the country: no sales tax, low property taxes, and meaningful retirement income exemptions that add up fast.
