What is Considered Northern Virginia?

The 55+ communities on this page are in the Northern Virginia area. It is a widespread area spreading out from DC.  The terrain can be anywhere from city, suburban, to rural; it's very mixed.

 The cities closest to Washington, DC in Virginia are Arlington, Alexandria, and Falls Church.  They are upscale and trendy and have an urban feeling.  A little farther from DC and more suburban is the Ashburn area.  In relaxing rural areas are towns like Fredericksburg, Stafford and others.  Many communities have close access to transportation hubs which makes it easy to get around.

Retirees who want to live out of the DC area but close to family that live closer to DC, or the many cultural, entertainment and dining options of Washington, DC, can find retirement communities within an hour's drive.  

There are other areas of Virginia that are good for retirement as well.  See the separate pages for

• Williamsburg
• Richmond  
•  Virginia Beach. 

 Virginia is a large state with large areas of open space and a wide choice of communities with different retirement lifestyles.
