Current Resident: I have lived in the same house in Mountville my entire life. I attended Mountville Elementary school in my childhood years. I can wholeheartedly say that I have enjoyed living in Mountville. It is small, but local to everything. Downtown lancaster is minutes away. Almost any store is within 15 minutes of driving. My personal neighborhood has had very few "issues" and I barely have any complaints. While Mountville is not racially diverse, people have diverse economic backgrounds which builds and wonderful community to grow up in.... Read 12 reviews

Current Resident: Willow Street has the benefits of rural space with the closeness of urban life. It has a fun, small-town feel, but you don't have to drive 45 minutes to get to a Target.

Town in Pennsylvania
Current Resident: I live in Downtown Lancaster and love it a lot because it is easily walkable and there are so many places to eat, shop or take care of any needs you have. Outside of town in the suburbs is also very accessible due to the city bus that goes all over the entire county. It is very kid and pet friendly as well. I see why people have lived here for so long or most of their lives. It's not a major city but an hour and a half from Philadelphia and the Baltimore/DC area. Lots of fun things to do and small businesses to support as well. I also love how there are so many public parks to do things in. Everyone here is super friendly and welcoming. Also lots of job opportunities; it didn't take me long to find a job after living here for a short while. I highly recommend moving to Lancaster like I did or just visiting!... Read 169 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Mount Joy my whole life (21 years) and I cant say anything wrong about it. All the other reviews on here are accurate. Its a small town, but its definitely not in the middle of nowhere. Hersheypark stadium (where states are held for most athletics and also where the big names come here for concerts) is only 15 minutes away. All the big name stores/outlets/restaurants are within 15-20 minutes in pretty much any direction. There are good colleges within 30 minutes that are easy to commute to. If I have to drive more then 30 minutes thats a long drive for this area. Public schools are clean, diverse, safe, and have a really good staff. Its a solid place to raise kids no matter who you are. Sometimes people complain about taxes but my feeling has always been that you get what you pay for and then some. Im the youngest of 4 and all my siblings have Mount Joy as their top choice (even though their spouses are from out of area) because we all agree you cant beat Mount Joy... Read 30 reviews

Current Resident: We have had a house in Lititz for 14 years. The diversity has increased and I see more people of color and pride flags flying on homes. It seems like the culture is slowly changing from less conservative to more open minded. The parks are beautiful and there is access to the rail trail to run or bike. The downtown has local small businesses and restaurants. One will often see six figure cars show up by General Sutters. We now have two "fancy" restaurants since the Wilbur factory was taken over by the hotel. There are many rentals and two family homes in the heart of town, which become more single family homes as you move slightly further away. We are in walking distance of downtown, which I love, but this area is more lower middle class, and it can show.... Read 69 reviews

Current Resident: Manheim is a quiet, suburban town in the middle of Pennsylvania. Known for its hardworking people and support of the local community. School sport is huge and people can easily connect over sports and the local events. Manheim's location allows residents to be quickly in major cities like Lancaster, Lebanon, and Harrisburg, but also attractions like Hershey Park and Amish Country.

Niche User: This is a great place to live. For the most part, the people here are very nice and they have good values compared to people in a lot of places. There are many things to do and see in the area, as it draws tourists because of the vast countryside and the many Amish in the area, as well as countless antique shops. It wouldn't be considered an extremely wealthy area, but the living conditions and overall quality of life is very good. I am glad that I live here.... Read 3 reviews

Nearby Resident: I'm from the midwest and I've lived in the south as well. This is a great location--the PA turnpike is only a mile or two away and Rt 222 connects Berks County and Lancaster County--we're right on the border. Good schools and a terrific library system in both counties, plus a brand new library in town. I love antiques and it doesn't get much better than this--antique malls, stores and flea markets concentrated right here, but more in every direction. We love to walk in our neighborhood and there are trails and parks all around the area. The history is rich and we have Amish buggies going past our house every week. If I had a complaint, it's that Pennsylvania isn't known as "Taxilvania" for nothing, but if you come from either coast, you probably won't think it's so bad. Overall, it's a great place to live....

Current Resident: Ephrata is a small town located in southeastern Pennsylvania. It very much is part of the "slice of life" communities that those who want to live away from crowded cities dream of. However, it is a thirty minute drive or less from Lancaster, York, and Reading, and only a little more than an hour to Philadelphia or Harrisburg. Lancaster county itself has several rural farming communities but also a historic, central city that has plenty to offer in terms of fun. Ephrata can be a little slow, yet it is safe and has quite a few restaurants and family activities like ice cream parlors, walking trails, and an arcade.... Read 61 reviews

The square has quite a few day time activities, and plenty of small stores for you to shop in. If you get hungry, there are also a lot of choices to fill your platter. To anyone looking for a place to visit, I would recommend it if you love looking at murals, and find older buildings unique and pretty. There is a wonderful park not too far from the square that you can hang around at and have fun with your friends or family. Overall, I highly recommend Elizabethtown!... Read 74 reviews
