Location: Perfection
Penn National’s active adult community is nestled among the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, in the heart of Pennsylvania farm country just 30 minutes from Gettysburg. And, we’re wonderfully close to many metro areas. We’re just 90 miles from Washington DC, Virginia and Maryland. Also, we’re just a few hours from New York and New Jersey making it easy for friends and family to visit. You can be shopping along the water in Baltimore, visiting Washington DC or seeing a Broadway show in New York City in a half day’s drive. We have it all here, conveniently located near Interstate 81 and Interstate 70.

Plus, the locals in this town are our neighbors and friends. We enjoy participating in town activities and volunteerism.
