Living in Winchester

If your idea of retirement is a more comforting lifestyle while not being too far from city living, you can’t go wrong with Winchester, Virginia. Located in the Shenandoah Valley, the city and its active adult communities are a short drive from Washington, D.C., our nation’s capital. Yet you wouldn’t know it from the small town charm it exudes and the natural beauty surrounding it. Everything moves a little bit slower in Winchester, and that should appeal to you after decades of 9-to-5 living. 

The Shenandoah Valley is a wonderful place to explore, whether it’s to hike, bike, camp, or even fish. Meanwhile, the town is home to significant history, with more than a dozen Nationally Registered Historic Places in the vicinity, most dating to the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.
