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.

A Charming Hometown

Chambersburg is a ‘hometown’ in the truest sense of the word. Just down the road from us, it offers libraries, parks, lots of shopping options, entertainment (from cinema to live theatre), seasonal farmers’ markets and state-of-the-art medical facilities. Plus, the locals in this town are our neighbors and friends. We enjoy participating in town activities and volunteerism.

History Next Door

Gettysburg is just minutes away and is steeped in history–Gettysburg National Military Park, historical museums and attractions and Civil War historical sites. You may be surprised to find out that Gettysburg also provides great shopping, restaurants and entertainment of all types. And you won’t want to miss its thousands of acres of gorgeous orchards, quaint covered bridges and breathtaking mountain views.

The Great Outdoors – Simply put, we’re surrounded!

• Beautiful Michaux State Forest and the famous Appalachian Trail are adjacent to our community. Many of our residents routinely hike the trail and take in the vivid scenery as it changes with the seasons. The 85,000 acre Michaux was recently named “Forest of the Year”.

• Then there’s Falling Springs – we don’t mind saying, it’s one of the most famous limestone springs in the USA and is nothing less than legendary among trout fishermen. You can try your hand at fishing too, with one of the many local guides!

• Whitetail Ski Resort and Ski Liberty are just thirty minutes away and offer an amazing snowy escape for skiers and snowboarders (and for folks who like to curl up with hot chocolate at the lodge).

Live and Learn

Continuing your education is exciting, and at Penn National, it’s incredibly convenient.

• Our next door neighbor is Penn State University Mont Alto. It offers the arboretum, library resources, a fitness center and endless continuing education opportunities.

• We’re also less than 20 minutes from Shippensburg University and Gettysburg College offering lectures, classes and events open to the greater community.

With all the opportunities, resources and attractions that surround us, you could say that Penn National is convenient to… everything!
