The second-best place to retire in all of America is right next door to Chester County, writes Jeff Jeffrey for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

Lancaster is second on the U.S. News & World Report’s 2017-18 Best Places to Retire list. It earned its high marks thanks to its low retiree taxes and excellent healthcare services.

Pittsburgh, which placed eighth, is another Pennsylvania city in the Top 10. Philadelphia also made the list at No. 19 courtesy of affordable housing and distinct culture.
