Virginia Greens Retirement Community sits in Williamsburg, Virginia, close to I-64 for easy trips to nearby cities, and it's right between Colonial Williamsburg and the Chesapeake Bay, so the area is full of beautiful nature and historic spots, which many people like to visit or just look at, and there's a sense of quiet comfort in how the grounds are kept, with paths and places for residents to go walking or relax outside, and inside things are laid out so everyone can get around easily, with a variety of floor plans-studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and even three-bedroom apartments, some as big as 1206 square feet-with roomy closets, kitchens that come with full-sized appliances, and little touches like climate control and window coverings to make things feel like home. The community is designed for adults 55 and older and offers all-inclusive independent retirement living, which means one monthly payment covers food, utilities, phone, cable, and internet, and residents don't have to worry about surprise charges for basic things, even if they have pets, since there's no extra fee for them, and folks can pick unfurnished or furnished apartments to suit their needs.
Virginia Greens includes assisted living and independent living care types, plus medical and home care services are available, along with medication reminders and an emergency alert system in every apartment for safety and peace of mind, and live-in managers are on-site 24/7, offering help and friendly guidance if someone needs anything right away or just some general support. The calendar stays busy with social events, planned group activities, outings, and educational programs put together by a Lifestyle Director, so there's always something people can join, from book clubs to travel groups, and there's a real focus on everyone staying active, whether that's through fitness classes, walking clubs, or gentler "sittercise" programs for those who like to take it easy. The common areas are something many visitors notice since there's a 150-seat state-of-the-art theater for movies and performances, a big library, a fitness and spa area, a game room with billiards and arcade games, conversation areas with fireplaces, a lounge with a bar, beauty salon/barber shop, computer room, coffee shop, general store, and a business center-so residents have lots of places to meet and spend time with friends or family who visit.
Three chef-prepared meals are served each day as part of Resort Style Dining and Freedom Style Dining programs, with food for all dietary needs whether someone has diabetes or prefers vegetarian, low salt, or kosher options, and the kitchen takes care to use good ingredients. Coffee, juice, ice cream, and snacks are always nearby for people to grab whenever they want, and housekeeping keeps apartments tidy every week, so residents don't have to do any heavy chores unless they want to, and staff help with errands, home maintenance, and getting to appointments or shopping with transportation services, meaning less stress about everyday life. The community offers its own special travel program where residents can stay at other RL Communities for vacations at no additional cost as part of what they call their Travel Program, which appeals to some who like to keep moving and see new places while feeling at home.
Security is steady throughout the building, with controlled entry and 24/7 monitoring, so people who live here and their families can feel comfortable, and parking is available in garages or lots for those who still drive. Guests can even reserve a suite to stay for a week at a time, which helps when family visits, and some meals are included for guests. There's Wi-Fi through the property, cable TV in common areas, laundry facilities, and a good-sized art studio too. Residents describe the staff as joyful, helpful, and kind, and both families and those who live here often recommend Virginia Greens for its strong sense of community, its steady approach to resident care, and its focus on simple comfort and good company, while many say the community feels almost like a cruise ship on land, but everyone has their own space and control over their daily routine. Prospective residents can book a tour and have lunch with current residents to get a real feel for what daily life is like before deciding if Virginia Greens Retirement Community is a good fit for their needs and preferences.
