Pennsylvania offers an ideal retirement setting with its rich history, scenic landscapes, and small-town charm, including two standout destinations in Bucks County, writes Leo Heit for When in Your State.
Doylestown and New Hope made the list of 15 charming towns in Pennsylvania you would love to retire to after your first visit.
Doylestown is the perfect place to get a feel of different cultures. It is home to three unique museums – the Mercer Museum, Fonthill Castle, and the James A. Michener Art Museum – which are part of the town’s fabric. While it has deep roots, Doylestown still has new things happening all the time. The preserved architecture gives it a familiar feel while also offering modern amenities.
As a bonus, the retirement programs come with great benefits.
New Hope offers stunning river views and art inspirations. The Delaware River runs right through the quirky, artsy town, ensuring stunning vistas and plenty of great spots to relax.
New Hope has a 78 out of 100 walkability score, with senior-friendly housing and healthcare options available nearby in Doylestown.
Another plus are entertainment and nature, both of which are part of everyday life.
