Despite its rural character,  the Northern Neck offers many of the amenities found in much larger communities. Continuing education and degree programs can be found at the Rappahannock Community College in Warsaw. Medical needs can be addressed at the full-service medical care center of Rappahannock General Hospital in Kilmarnock. The Northern Neck is also home to Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury in Irvington, a wooded 113-acre retirement community that offers independent and assisted living. If you are seeking a simpler lifestyle, contact one of our local real estate agents and let them know what you are looking for. They will be glad to assist you in planning to stay for a lifetime.
