Written By Holly Fye

It’s not just families and young professionals relocating to Richmond — retirees are discovering RVA too. And it makes sense.

Here’s why Richmond is becoming a retirement hot spot:

  • Healthcare: Top-rated hospitals and specialists, all within a short drive.

  • Affordability: Lower housing costs compared to Northern Virginia or coastal cities.

  • Lifestyle: Four seasons, rich culture, and endless history.

  • Accessibility: Close to the beach, the mountains, and D.C. — perfect for weekend trips or visiting family.

  • Communities: From active adult neighborhoods in Moseley and Midlothian to small-town charm in Ashland, there’s something for every stage of retirement.
