retirement move

Settling somewhere sunny

A retirement move is a relocation made upon or in anticipation of retiring from work, typically to a place with lower cost of living, warmer climate, or proximity to family: They're making their retirement move to Arizona next spring.

The phrase emphasizes that this isn't just any move but one tied to a major life transition, often involving downsizing or pursuing long-deferred preferences about where to live.
