“Best places to retire”
Two of our retirement communities are located in cities that have been named among “the best places in the United States to retire” by Forbes, the financial publishing and media company. Forbes granted that designation to Pittsburgh, the City of Bridges, in 2015 and 2016 and to Bethlehem, Christmas City USA, in 2017. Both cities were cited for their cost of living, median home price, number of physicians per capita and walkability, as well as other attributes.
