Philadelphians Already Know What Was Recently Announced: Lancaster, PA Has Been Nationally Ranked as the Number-One Spot to Retire

The nation’s best place to retire may be surprising to some, but not to Philadelphians. Many from the Philadelphia area who are 55 or better already agree with U.S. News & World Report’s rankings that Lancaster is the #1 Best Place to Retire in the nation. Hundreds of Philadelphians have already made Willow Valley Communities, a premier 55-plus community in Lancaster, their home.

And hundreds more who desire an extraordinary, urban retirement experience have expressed interest in Willow Valley Communities’ next generation of 55-plus residences: Mosaic — brand new construction coming to the heart of vibrant downtown Lancaster City.

Mosaic is uncompromising when it comes to craftsmanship, beauty, and attention to detail. Crafted with an aesthetic of timeless, casual elegance, and exclusive amenities and service, Mosaic is the inspired work of renowned architects and interior designers.

Rising twenty stories above Lancaster City, Mosaic’s 146 single-level, two- and three-bedroom residences will create a new pattern of elegant city living melding the downtown vibrancy of Lancaster with Willow Valley Communities’ 40-year award-winning tradition of excellence.

Mosaic is, in a word, refined. Curated to everything that moves you. Sharing your taste for the extraordinary — from architecture to service to globally inspired cuisine.

And right in the heart of downtown Lancaster, where 1700s charm meets 2020s buzz. Outside your front door at Mosaic are inviting, walkable city streets alive with theater and entertainment, eclectic boutiques, award-winning restaurants offering worldwide cuisine, and stimulating art galleries and exhibits.

Forbes calls Lancaster among the Top 5 Coolest Cities to Live; The New York Times calls it, “A hive of culinary diversity”; The New York Post calls it, “the new Brooklyn teeming with art galleries, indie boutiques, and restaurants”; Newsweek places Lancaster in the “Top 50 Places to Live.” And all of this is conveniently located near major cities like Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, DC.

But Mosaic is more than just a stunning apartment. Mosaic will also offer the wise value of Willow Valley Communities’ Type A (extensive Lifecare) contract that provides residents with a seamless continuum of care, if needed in the future, at no increase to monthly service fees. A leader in premier 55-plus living for close to 40 years, Willow Valley Communities has earned an “A” Fitch financial rating as well as numerous national innovation awards.
