Some of the best retirement spots in NY are right here on Long Island, according to a retirement calculator. Where do you want to retire?

When you work most of your life to retire, the next big step is to decide where to live as a retiree.

To determine the best places to retire in the state, SmartAsset takes into consideration state and local tax rates, how many doctor's offices, recreation centers and retirement centers there are per 1,000 people, as well as the percentage of seniors in that town.
