Winchester is for lovers of Virginia.

Your retirement haven is part of a great American community.

Don’t think of The Village at Orchard Ridge as a “retirement community.” Think of it as home base in the heart of history, just two-and-a-half miles from fascinating Winchester, Virginia: one of the “Best Places to Retire” (U.S. News & World Report).

Enjoy a glass of wine and live music in the birthplace of country music legend Patsy Cline. See the Civil War headquarters of Stonewall Jackson. Relax in Old Town Winchester, a marketplace more than 250 years old and still buzzing with life: 45 blocks of exciting shopping and dining on the National Register of Historic Districts. Make sure to take in a performance at the Wayside Theatre or Winchester Little Theatre, or hear the Winchester Orchestra in concert. History and the arts surround you. You will also be close to quality medical care at the highly respected Winchester Medical Center—ranked #1 among recommended hospitals in Virginia. Fitness buffs will appreciate the Valley Health and Wellness Center.

No wonder Forbes magazine called Winchester one of the “Top Ten Metro Areas with a Population under 200,000.” In Winchester, you are in the center of tradition and vitality.
