For Pamela Blackburn, some of the little things she saw during a visit led to the decision for her and her husband, David, to spend retirement in Danville after many years in Little Rock, Ark. “We were sitting in The Hub having coffee and I looked out at the streets and said to David, ‘they clean the streets here,'” said Pamela. “It was still winter, but you could see that it was important to keep things looking nice. We went down the street to find a Realtor right after that.”
While the idea of a retirement destination may conjure thoughts of year-round sun and sand, Danville has been drawing national attention recently for its status as a top place for those looking for relatively low cost as well as culture. Danville has never had a shortage of transplants from other places, but several online and print publications recently have taken notice of what the town offers those who want enjoy a full and active lifestyle. The most attention has come from an article in this month’s edition of Money magazine, which named Danville one of the top five places to retire in its print edition and included it among a list of 25 retirement destinations in an online list.
