Deciding where to retire boils down to finding friendly place that just feels like home. To make the retirement search a little easier, Mississippi has name several Certified Retirement Cities. Corinth is, of course, one of them.

When you see the green highway signs proclaiming "Corporate Limit, A Certified Retirement City,” you’ll know we’ve found a hometown to call your own.

To qualify as a Certified Retirement City, a town must pass through a three-month intensive screening process conducted by Hometown Mississippi Retirement, the state's official retiree attraction program. They evaluate each city on the criteria important to retirees - affordable cost of living, low crime rate, quality medical care, recreation,  educational and cultural opportunities, and most importantly - a warm, welcoming community.

The Certified Retirement Cities throughout the state offer a variety of lifestyles. All are served by community colleges. History lives in antebellum architecture, and retired military enjoy privileges at the five major military installations in the state. A mild four-season climate lets you enjoy the outdoors year-round. 

Once you move to a Certified Retirement City, special activities such as picnics, dances and group trips make the transition a breeze. New friends will welcome you to the community, show you around and help you get involved. Then the next thing you know you'll be greeting newcomers and introducing them to your hometown.
