In an exclusive feature by Travel + Leisure, titled “7 Best Places to Retire in Virginia,” Kay Houghton, the esteemed leader of Kay Houghton & Associates at eXp Realty, shares her invaluable insights into the growing retirement landscape of Virginia. Kay explains why the Ashburn, Fredericksburg, and Haymarket areas are becoming increasingly attractive to people 55 and older seeking a blend of comfort, convenience, and culture.
Ashburn: A Perfect Blend of Affordability and Accessibility
Nestled in the heart of Loudoun County, a suburb of Washington, D.C., Ashburn stands out as a premier destination for retirees. Despite a higher cost of living than the national average, Ashburn presents a significantly more affordable option compared to other cities in Virginia. This economic advantage positions Ashburn as an ideal choice for those seeking the comforts of suburban living without the hefty price tag often found in Virginia’s urban centers.
Kay Houghton’s experience with people 55 and older relocating to their retirement homes has given her a deep appreciation for what Ashburn offers. Kay remarked that Ashburn is convenient to world-class medical facilities, as well as the culture and art opportunities in the metro D.C. area. Her emphasis on the availability of affordable 55-and-over and assisted living communities emphasizes the area’s commitment to accommodating the needs and lifestyles of the aging population.
Fredericksburg and Haymarket: Growing with Grace
Beyond Ashburn, Kay shines a light on Fredericksburg and Haymarket, two locales experiencing significant growth to serve their aging residents better. These areas are becoming increasingly popular among retirees, thanks to their strategic efforts to enhance living conditions for retirees. From expanding healthcare services to enriching cultural and recreational offerings, Fredericksburg and Haymarket are setting new standards for retirement living.
Kay Houghton & Associates’ dedication to guiding older folks through the complex process of finding their ideal retirement home is evident through Kay’s expert commentary. Her focus on these areas is not just about highlighting their benefits but also about showcasing the potential for a fulfilling and enriched retirement life.
