Since many baby boomers are retiring at a younger age, opting to live in a location with a nearby college or university in order to take advantage of cultural and educational opportunities which those institutions offer is a real attraction. The arts, literature and the love of learning, adds to the high quality of life and cultural enrichment that plays prominently in attracting retirees to Virginia.
Most of Virginia is an affordable place to live with the cost of living in most areas below the national average. Combine this situation with its reputation as a progressive and economically stable state, mild climate, proximity to both the mountains and Atlantic Coast beaches, and Virginia is certain to rank high on the list for many retirees searching for that perfect place to retire. Baby boomers will love Virginia and the slogan "Virginia is for lovers" acknowledges the atmosphere that baby boomers enjoy. |
