55+ Communities, also called 55 Plus Communities, are active retirement havens for adults, offering varied amenities and housing from golf course homes to serene city living among like-minded neighbors. They typically include pools, Pickleball, Shuffleboard, tennis courts, clubhouses with kitchens, and championship golf courses in gated, resort-like environments.

With its lush landscapes and mild year-round climate, Virginia is a wonderful place to retire. There are tons of recreational activities including almost year-round golfing along with canoeing, kayaking, and hiking. The Blue Ridge Mountains in the west are a natural wonder along with the lovely coastline to the east.

Though cost of living is about average, Virginia is still far less pricey than many states to the north with low state and local income taxes. With a low unemployment rate, it is also a great place for those wishing to work during retirement.

There are a great number of neighborhood associations and retirement communities in the Roanoke area that can help newly relocated retirees easily integrate into the state.
