[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP in West Virginia.  Also would add, which someone pointed out, that healthcare is huge wherever you buy.  I assume you will want to use it in retirement.  WV has terrible healthcare - almost non-existent where we are.  I would never buy there for that reason.  We essentially have to go back to Northern Virginia.
And also look at infrastructure.  Do they have good roads?  Do you have to plow in the winter?  Do we need a well or septic (big deal in rural areas)?  How far to the grocery store?  How far to a hardware store?  Are there any restaurants?  Do I have to bring in all my food every time I go?    [/quote]

The Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia is just over the river from Loudoun County.  We have a vacation/second home there and I’ve driven back and forth to Arlington for dentist and doctor appointment and been back to our WV home before 3.  And that’s with stopping somewhere for lunch.

Nobody is talking about retiring in Welch. [/quote]

We would never buy a beach house because of climate change concerns, but dream about somewhere around Harper's Ferry. Easy river access, wooded, but still with reasonable access to healthcare and city services (plowing, water, etc.). Any specific areas or towns that you would recommend looking?[/quote]

Harper’s Ferry is a good place to start.  Shepherdstown is also great.   More of a college town than a touristy place.  [/quote]
