CNN Money this week ranked the top 25 places to retire in the U.S, based on a series of factors including median home price, income tax, activities and attractions, climate and availability of health care. 

Citing several cities as well as some smaller, more far-flung towns, CNN compiled the top 10 locations, finding Albuquerque, New Mexico topping the list. 

The first 10 destinations include: 

1. Albuquerque, N.M.
2. Portland, Ore.
3. Louisville, Ky.
4. Tucson, Ariz.
5. Austin, Tex.
6. Winston-Salem, N.C.
7. St. George, Utah
8. Traverse City, Mich.
9. Coeur d’Alene, Ida.
10. St. Augustine, Fla.
