55+ Living: Why You Should Retire in Washington, D.C. Area
The Washington, D.C. area may not be a hot retirement destination like the Sun Belt, but there are plenty of advantages to retiring near the nation’s capital. “Near” is a key word. The D.C. region is home to 6 million people, and only about 680,000 of them live in the District of Columbia itself. The rest are in Maryland cities such as Silver Spring and Gaithersburg, or Virginia cities such as Woodbridge and Fredericksburg.
