This House Is $65,000 (Plus 9 More Great Alabama Homes For Retirees)

Where in Alabama would a retiree actually want to live? I took the Niche ranking of the best Alabama counties for retirees, picked ten of them, and found one real home for sale in each, counted down from the most expensive ($619,000) to the cheapest ($65,000). For every home: the town, the nearest hospital, the yearly property tax, and the honest catch. At the end: one table with money, health and community for all ten.
