Real Estate
Northern York County: In the northern part of the county, Fairview Township has a heavy concentration of suburban neighborhoods, providing housing for those who work in and around Harrisburg. Options include old farms, small town dwellings and even new developments.
City of York: There are incentives to attract new residents and encourage the renovation of the City’s historic homes. New development and renovation is currently underway as part of the Codorus Creek Corridor Improvement project, which includes new residential, recreational and commercial-recreational construction projects along the Codorus Creek. Downtown York offers a variety of urban living options from the new condos at Codo 28 to the new lofts at the Rosenmiller building, to the fabulous 3-story brownstones.
Greater York: Most of the County’s population is located in the suburban areas around the City. You will find plenty of housing options, including single wooded lots, middle-class neighborhoods and upscale communities. The townships and boroughs in this region have seen increased population and new development. Great examples are Manchester Township, Dallastown and Red Lion.
Hanover Area: The Hanover area is the County’s second largest population center, with a strong presence of retail and manufacturing industries. Hanover is a designated historic district and also recently received its Main Street Designation from the Pennsylvania Downtown Center. Restored Victorian and Colonial style homes are among the unique housing options in the downtown area. Also in the region is Codorus State Park, a 3,500 acre park with boating, camping, swimming and hiking.
Southern York County: Southern York County is the place to go for a rural and small town feel without sacrificing the career opportunities of a major metropolitan region. This area sits between York City and Baltimore and people who live here enjoy an easy commute to both. Housing opportunities include 18th century farms and white-picket-fence neighborhoods just outside towns like Shrewsbury, Stewartstown and New Freedom.
