Doris,
I am not a realtor, rather I am a 15 year resident of Washington Park, a transplant from California. Perhaps I have a small town mentality but when I came to this area I just fell in love. Downtown Washington is along the river and has a promanade along it. There is also a kayak and bicycle rental right outside of Washington Park along with Back Water Jacks a restaurant. Fishing from the train bridge. Senior center down town. Lots of local color and culture. Go to: originalwashington.com this will tell you more. Right now housing prices are good. Anything along the water is high end, good neighborhoods, Pirates Cove, Somerset, Macs Woods, Small Wood, Historic District, Pamlico Village and Pamlico Plantation, Country Club, etc. Hope this was some help.

Doris,
I have worked with the Marian Schaffer agency in the past and they have a wealth of information on retirement communities and vacation homes. I am a senoir real estate specialist and while I do not work that area it is best to work with someone that knows your needs and can help you find a "package deal" of everything you need in one place. Marian and Terry do a wonderful job of taking all the work out of the search for you. They do as I believe and help make home buying more of a pleasure then a task.
