Trying to find out if anyone has experience with VA health care in NC or VA.
Going to be retiring in 5-10 years and want to leave Watertown,NY.
Want to buy a smaller size 2BR house under 1000 SQ FT. within 60 miles of a VA hospital since I use them for healthcare.
I lived in Wilmington,NC before but never used VA healthcare there.
Not interested in HOA at all.

I think your question would receive more and better answers on the forums for NC and VA.
I know several folks who are quite happy with the VA hospital in Durham, NC. I also notice that with serious illnesses, they often reach out to Duke or UNC/rex.
I don't see many houses in the Triangle area that small. Condos and townhouses, yes, but of course they have HOA's. In fact, finding a house with no HOA in the Triangle is more and more difficult.
Perhaps more importantly, in 5-10 years, the VA system could be totally changed. As a past resident of Phoenix, I would hope for the better. But if this country ever has universal health care or socialized medicine, the VA medical system may morph into that. Nobody can see the future.
I think I've heard pretty good things about the VA facilities in Salem, VA, which is next to Roanoke. You might want to post in the Roanoke sub-forum for more info. You should be able to find a decent amount of housing in the area that might suit your needs.
Best wishes on finding a great area to enjoy your retirement years.
