Rethink the idea of retirement.

You’ve never been one to live life at a slow pace. And just because you’ve put your 30-plus years in doesn’t mean you’re about to change that now. That’s why you should come join us! As Virginia’s only resident-governed, premier 55+ community in Virginia Beach, Atlantic Shores puts you in control. You can choose to rent or buy and live the life you love.

Independent living at Atlantic Shores

Ask yourself this big retirement question first.

Let’s be honest, none of us really know how to “start” the complicated process of defining what we want our next phase of life to look like. There are too many unknowns, too many questions to be answered and too many options available.

Over the years, we’ve found a good question to begin with that will guide you through your own unique process.

Start here

At Atlantic Shores, the ‘independent’ in ‘independent living’ is real. I make the decisions about my lifestyle, how I spend my time and which of the many services I want to utilize.
— Shirley, resident since 2017

We moved here two years ago and quickly assimilated into this friendly community of residents. We’re able to keep as busy as we want, or do nothing at all. It’s a wonderful place to live, you won’t be disappointed!
— Al & Judy, residents since 2022

Seven years ago, my husband and I made one of the best decisions we’ve ever made – to spend our retirement years at Atlantic Shores. The beautiful grounds, the choice of villa or apartment living, the warmth and friendliness of the residents and the amazing activities make us so proud to call Atlantic Shores home.
— Carolyn, resident since 2017

If you like culture, exercise, day trips, shows, friendships, wellness, food & wine, all in a safe and beautiful campus, then welcome to my world at Atlantic Shores! My 9 years here been full of all of these, and then some!
— Ann, resident since 2015
