| For retirees seeking apartment homes, The

might be just the ticket. This maintenance-free, luxury,
rental community is age restricted (55 and above) and offers
one bedroom and two bedroom units with a variety of floor
plans; some units have dens, family rooms and sunrooms, as
well. Why buy a second home or carry another
mortgage when you can lease your retirement home? |

Fredericksburg (population 20,000) was once the home of
Revolutionary War hero John Paul Jones and President James
Monroe. Residents enjoy the 40-block historic district, known
as Old Town, and its more than 350 buildings from the 18th and 19th
centuries, including the homes of George Washington's sister and
mother, as well the 1852 courthouse designed by James Renwick.
Shopping, museums, restaurants and historic battlefields are all
nearby, as is the Rappahannock River and its boating
opportunities. Washington, D.C. is less than a hour to
the northeast and provides all of the big city amenities one would
expect.
The climate in this part of the world brings summer temperatures
in the 70s and 80s, and winter temperatures in the 20s and 30s;
humidity averages 65%. The city receives 3 to 4 inches of
precipitation per month and the sun shines 50% to 60% of the
time.
Fredericksburg has a crime rate very close to the national
average. Mary Washington Hospital is the primary health care
facility.
