A real, genuine tax advantage for retirement income too

Pennsylvania fully exempts Social Security and, at normal retirement age, pension/401(k)/IRA income from state tax -- and Upper Merion Township's own confirmed no-EIT status means no local income-tax exposure on top of that for most residents.

Practical proximity to major healthcare systems

King of Prussia's real, strategic location gives retirees genuinely close, practical proximity to the broader Philadelphia-metro healthcare network.
