Are you considering buying a home in Central Pennsylvania?  Well, here is some positive news that might help influence your decision.  According to Forbes, Lancaster Pennsylvania is one of the best places to grow old in America.  While this seems like an obvious truth for those of us currently living here, the rest of the country is just catching on to benefits of the area.  With the gorgeous rural surrounds, the vitality of Lancaster City, and the proximity of many of the Northeast’s urban hubs, Lancaster truly is a fantastic place to live—both for the young and the old.

Forbes determined their rankings based primarily on three criteria: the percentage of people 65 and older, their median income, and the number of hospitals and elder care facilities per 10,000 people.  With some of the more traditional retirement options in the south becoming cost prohibitive and retirees looking for a different kind of lifestyle, places like Lancaster are garnering more attention. 

Lancaster does have the types of services retirees are looking for—quality health care, plentiful parks and recreation, and a productive local economy.  Not only do these amenities make Lancaster great for older generations, but they also show that this is a well rounded community with lots to offer people in all stages of their lives.
