[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've known a few couples that retired to Lake of the Woods. [/quote]

I found this about it from a Google Search:

[quote]Lake of the Woods (LOW) is a gated community with over 4,000 homes located between Fredericksburg and Culpeper on Route 3 in Orange County, VA. The taxes are low, the ambience is rural, we have a boating lake and a fishing lake, 18-hole golf course, 2 swimming pools, a first class clubhouse that serves lunch and dinner and overlooks the lake, tennis courts, stables with horses for residents or grandchildren, a community center that puts on several plays and musicals a year, a daycare center for our younger residents, and soccer fields! There is a church located within Lake of the Woods, and many more nearby. I cannot name all of the clubs that one can get involved in, from bridge to mahjong--tennis to golf--bowling leagues to yoga--Lions to Red Hats. We have it all!
We also have a community run Association led by a Board of Directors and over 20 volunteer committees, so if you do not like to live in a Community Association this is not a place for you. Our association fees cover all of the amenities listed above, although there are additional fees (for instance the annual golf fee for a family including cart is $2800, boat registration fee is $600), and also cover incredible road maintenance, snow removal, etc.
We are located one hour from Washington D.C., one hour from Richmond, VA, twenty minutes from Culpeper, VA, and thirty minutes from Fredericksburg, VA. We have access to battlefields, fine restaurants, museums, first class medical care at Mary Washington Hospital, UVA Medical Center, or any one of the Northern Virginia or Richmond medical facilities. The LOW fire and rescue department is outstanding.
If you get involved here you will have more friends than you will ever believe possible. My husband and I looked everywhere for a retirement home, but once we drove into LOW we were home.[/quote][/quote]
