Des Moines regularly makes the lists: "Most Livable City," "Quality of Life," "All-America City," and "Cheapest Cities." To this list should be added "Cheapest Assisted Living," because this city along the Des Moines River is a bargain.

The overall cost of living in Des Moines is 10% below the national average. In Iowa, single retirees can exclude up to up to $6,000 ($12,000 for married couples) of retirement-plan distributions from state income taxes. The state and local tax burden is 9.5%. Inheritance taxes range from 1% to 15%.

While the Hawkeye State isn't the most tax-friendly place to live, its long-term care prices are dirt cheap. A private, one-bedroom in a Des Moines assisted living facility averages $2,808 a month, according to a recent Genworth Financial survey on long-term care. The national average is $3,261.
