Thinking of Retiring to Charlottesville?

Charlottesville, Virginia is a great place to live whether you are retired or not. I'lll tell you why I like it.

There are many reasons: Climate-we have four distinct and I think enjoyable seasons.Spring andFall could not be better, the Winters are mild and Summer is long and invigorating save for the 30-45 days of humidweather; it is not Hawaii after all. Culture-The University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson, is in Charlottesville and thus we have worldclass libraries, concert series, lectures on almost any subject by almost anyone you could want, NCAA division 1 sporting events and one of the most beautiful campuses (called the Grounds) you will see anywhere. People-the citizens of Charlotesville and Albemarle County come from all over the world and you will find stimulating companionship and social life here if that is what you value. Proximity to urban areas-if you want a slower life-style but still need or want to be involved with larger urban areas, Washington DC, Richmond,Virginia are only two and one hour away respectively. New York City is reachable via daily commuter flights from our new and modern airport, via Amtrak or you can drive easily in about 7 hours.The Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean are only a few hours to the east and many locals keep their boats in Deltaville, Virginia. Health Care-we have one of the finest teaching hospitals and health care systems in the country at the University of Virginia Hospital and Martha Jefferson Hospital. You and your doctor will be happy to know that should you need medical assitance, the finest care is available to you and your loved ones right in the center of town.
