Virginia Real Estate: Affordable Living for Retirees

After so many years of hard work, you must be wanting to enjoy the fruits of your labor especially now that you are retiring. With your limited strength and energy, you probably would want to live in a community where commodities are affordable, and so is the lifestyle.

If you are eyeing a good place to rest on while making the rest of your retirement life significant, Virginia is worth considering.

Here's why you should pick Virginia as your retirement destination:

Great landscapes and a milder climate

Things that drawn migrants to Virginia include its breathtaking landscapes in a variety as noted in Market Watch. Its milder climate during summer makes you want to stay outdoors for fun activities under the sunshine. Robert G. Topping, a financial adviser in Williamsburg, VA relates that anyone can golf nine or 10 months of the year in the place as its climate isn't hot nor humid.

Wholesome retirement communities and residences

Investopedia features a beautiful abode in Winchester, Virginia called Willow Lawn Cottages. Homes in WLC are for singles or a small family with two bathrooms, two bedrooms, and a garage for one car. These ranch-style houses measure up to 1,600 square feet and cost $200,000.

Another wholesome place for retirees is found in Richmond, Virginia particularly the Summerhill at Stony Point. Each home in Summerhill has a facade made of bricks and has a cottage-style design. It is single-level and is built especially for older residents. These homes measure 700-2,200 square feet and are sold between $100,000 and $200,000.

Virginia has communities that suit the needs of retirees as these retirement homes are located in places where there is easy access to major cities like New York, Philadelphia and Washington. If you are looking for a more affordable place, you can find one in rural areas of Virginia like the Settler's Ridge in Richmond, Virginia, the third to the two already mentioned.
