With a five-point checklist, including good nightlife, infrastructure, quick commute, connectivity for international travel, and moderate temperature, the Redditor is leaning towards Chandigarh and Goa. However, netizens presented a strong case for offbeat destinations such as Tirupati in Tamil Nadu, Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, and Kochi in Kerala.
Tirupati has good connectivity to Bangalore and Chennai and a 40-minute flight to Hyderabad. It has access to three sea ports within a two-hour drive and is a supply chain hub. One Redditor likened Tirupati to Denver/Jacksonville in the US, which is home to many retirees and boasts high tourism income and expensive real estate.
Infra has developed a lot in the last three years. All new roads being made are mostly 100 ft roads. Master plan to connect many small villages and there are plans to have an Air cargo drop from north India and make it a supply chain hub for the south.
Kochi certainly fits your requirements. Kochi has better international connectivity than any other city except the top three, good infra, both physical and social, metro is available, never gets above 38 degrees Celsius though a bit humid. Fort Kochi side gives the retro vibe, but many of India's biggest shopping malls present.
Among Tier I cities, Pune and Hyderabad appeared as popular recommendations. Hyderabad has excellent international connectivity, advantage of being a capital city, excellent weather for 9/12 months, large influx of young crowd, so nightlife is great. Not as good as Mumbai or Bangalore though. Excellent roads in places that you will likely settle down and may commute to. To add to all this, a HUGE number of returnees from the US. So culturally, you'll not feel out of place.
Property prices are not crazy like Mumbai or Bangalore. Can buy/build a nice villa in a location that is 30 minutes from the tech hub.
Pune, on the other hand, offers a relatively more affordable yet quality lifestyle, with proximity to Mumbai being an added advantage.
The suggestions highlight the growing trend of retirees opting for Tier II cities, which offer a more relaxed pace of life, affordable lifestyle, and good infrastructure.
