Low cost of living, but terrible walkability and complete lack of transportation options. If driving is an issue, you're STUCK. Not many volunteer opportunities, but many seniors work in minimum wage jobs as Walmart greeters and such. Near Lexington, where there are cultural and sports amenities,but not many in Richmond.
