For three days in early July, 1863, Union and Confederate soldiers fought a bloody battle in and around the little town of Gettysburg in bucolic south central Pennsylvania.  The battle became the turning point of the Civil War, and Gettysburg forever became linked to it.

International Spots

What Makes a Great Retirement Spot?  

We look at a number of factors, including cost of living, medical facilities, climate, transportation, crime rate, cultural amenities, educational amenities, shopping venues, infrastructure, recreational opportunities, senior services, poverty rate and more.  No one factor alone, except a very high crime rate, will disqualify a town as a great retirement spot, but several factors combined, such as a high crime rate and a high poverty rate, most often will.   A high cost of living or high taxes alone are not enough to disqualify a particular town because some people prefer more affluent communities and are able to pay higher costs and taxes.  And not everyone is looking for the same amenities, so, for example, a town without a symphony or a fishing lake will not be disqualified since not everyone wants those things.  We try to look at all kinds of places in all price ranges and get a feel for each one.  Then we weigh all of the evidence to decide if a town has enough going for it to make it spot for retirement.
