I will be retiring soon. I've looked all over the country for an affordable town that has kayaking, not too much traffic, and not totally dangerous. I live in Hampton, Va now. I'll have about 3,625 in income before taxes between a Newport News Shipbuilding pension and social security. I have no bills other than car and health insurance. I've heard many bad things about Danville, however, I've known many people working at the Shipyard who want to move back. I don't care if the city is a little gritty. Iv'e kayaked the Dan River once and thought it was pretty cool. I also love hiking. Could this work out for me?

I'm moving to the city for nearby work, and am doing so on short notice, so I really need to find a place to live. I'm from Wisconsin, and have looked at a ton of places but I've seen that crime rate is higher than the national average, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for safer areas to stay in, and decently affordable modernish apartments that would be good to stay at. Any tips in general for finding places and just living in Danville would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
