While Washington DC is only 20 miles away, active adults looking to stay close to home will be pleased to know there are plenty of attractions in Fairfax to consider. Try a day in the sun at Daniels Run Park, a local woodland park with miles of hiking trails to explore. Or, take a walking tour through the historic downtown area and visit famous Civil War related sites like the Fairfax County Courthouse. The city is also home to plenty of shopping opportunities, from the quaint downtown boutiques, to nearby options at Tyson’s Corner and the Mosaic District. And, if that isn’t enough, our 55+ community is only steps from the metro line. Take a short ride and enjoy all the active adult activities Washington DC offers, from a show at the Kennedy Center to the latest exhibit at one of the capital’s numerous museums. With so much to offer, both in and around the city, Fairfax is a great place to retire.

For adults who are still working, Fairfax’s proximity to Washington DC, also makes this city a good place to live. While several employers in Fairfax, like Booz Allen Hamilton and Inova Health Systems, provide opportunities for consultants and healthcare professionals, residents at Fairfax’s active adult communities can explore options at places like the BAE Systems, Northrup Grumman, the DOD, US State Department, FBI or any one of the Fortune 500 companies based in the area.

With so much to do, retirement communities in Fairfax offer a great mix between work and play.

When you are looking at 55+ communities and picturing buying your dream home you want to ensure your new home is a source of delight, not stress. So, when it comes to retirement budgeting you should take into account Fairfax’s values of homes and cost of living. That way you can secure the home financing you need while still being able to enjoy the active adult lifestyle.

Fairfax’s cost of living is higher than national average, but it is in line with the DC area. Because Virginia does not currently tax Social Security benefits and provides a deductible on other forms of retirement income, a new home in Fairfax may be more attainable than you think.

Over 55 communities are a great place to start your next chapter. If a home in Fairfax sounds like it might be the right fit for you, trust Pulte Homes Active Adult to find the perfect new home for you.
