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: 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: 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

Current Resident: Elizabethtown serves as a quiet bedroom community for Hershey, Harrisburg, York and Lancaster. It has great schools with dedicated teachers. It smells terrific. Why? There is the smell of chocolate emanating from the major employer at the M&M Mars factory right in the middle of town! This is a quiet town with openness to all. It has great churches and of course a small college, which also means about 10 pizza shops. Neighbors are friendly and welcoming. It is located on the west side of Lancaster County, PA Dutch country with Amish and Mennonite heritage. That means all the fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers one can dream of. It is picturesque, surrounded by beautiful farm land, lots of trees and safe neighborhoods. Elizabethtown is primarily conservative due to its rich heritage. It also has its share of restaurants, taverns and fast food. The shopping district is growing, but you’ll travel a few miles to find a Walmart - which to many is a good thing.... Read 75 reviews

Current Resident: New Holland is a small town in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. They're population is pretty low consisting of suburban residents and Amish farmers. The town has its perks for being both safe and family friendly. Fire stations and many different health clinics are nearby. This town is perfect for a family or senior who wants a tranquil and quiet life. The problem with this town is the access to stores. The only stores available are super markets with dated food, thrift stores, and pharmacies. This town is more comfortable for a retired senior citizen than it is for someone who wants access to new or modern technology, along with different foods or restaurants. This town also has few job opportunities for people with no experience or college education. In summary, New Holland, PA is a small town with limited access but a calm and tranquil atmosphere....
