We are  in Charlottesville and found it is a good balance in lifestyle.  As mentioned UVA Med Center and a strong community hospital system, Sentara, have any kind of doctor you may need within 15 - 30 minutes of driving.  There are the university related activities depending upon your interests as well as a lifelong Ollie program with daytime relatively inexpensive short term workshops.  There is brand new senior center called The Center.  You can choose areas with condos or homes which have a lot of walkability, but probably not wo all key services.  However there is also a para-transit system and area bus system which can be used as one may not drive.  As noted you are within two hours of DC and all it offers including airports and about an hour to Richmond.  There are a number of tiered continuing care communities to choose from later in retirement.  The one drawback are the very hot/humid summers.  However, given the weather extremes all over the country not bad in comparison to snow/cold winters, fires, floods or tornados.  Very diverse community and hundreds of nonprofits to be able get involved with.  [/quote]
