Exterior of a Pennsylvania home with white siding and dark shutters, representative of homes in the Warwick School District area

A new listing just hit the market in Lititz Boro, and it's the kind of house that tends to move fast in this school district. 116 Oxford Drive is a 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home priced at $400,000 — solidly inside the range where Warwick School District buyers have been competing hardest this summer. Between the recent updates throughout the house and the established, walkable neighborhood it sits in, this one is worth a closer look before it's gone.

About This Property

116 Oxford Drive is a single-family home built in 1973, offering 1,871 square feet of finished living space across a bi-level floor plan — 1,209 square feet above grade and another 662 finished below. It has 4 bedrooms and 1 full, 1 partial b...

ELANCO School District Homes for Sale: A Buyer's Guide to Taxes, Wells & Commutes

Aerial view of house in Pennsylvania countryside

If you're looking at homes for sale in the Eastern Lancaster County School District — better known around here as ELANCO — you're looking at some of the most classic Amish Country scenery in Pennsylvania: rolling farmland, covered bridges, and small-town boroughs like New Holland, Blue Ball, Intercourse, and Terre Hill. But before you fall for a farmhouse view, there are a handful of practical questions every buyer should get answered first: what you'll actually pay in property taxes, whether you'll be on well and septic, how the schools are rated, and how far you'll really be driving to work. As of July 2026, here's what I tell my o...

Row of brick and painted rowhomes along a walkable residential street

If you've spent a Sunday morning at the farmers market on Penn Avenue, you already understand why buyers keep asking me about West Reading. This little Berks County borough — barely half a square mile, about 4,500 residents — packs a walkable main street, a major hospital, and a top-rated school district into one of the most affordable price points in the region. Here's what you need to know before you start touring homes.

What do homes cost in West Reading, PA?

As of June 30, 2026, the typical home value in West Reading is about $247,000 according to Zillow's Home Value Index — essentially flat over the past year (down 0.7%). That makes West Reading one of the most attainable walkable communities in Berks County, and a...

Two-story brick house with landscaped front yard and driveway — stock photo, not the listed property

Every so often a listing comes along that checks the boxes so many Ephrata buyers keep asking me about: brick construction, a real primary suite, updated mechanicals, and a neighborhood people rarely leave. This week that listing is 1015 Martin Avenue in the Sycamore Acres neighborhood of Ephrata Borough. With inventory in the Ephrata Area School District still tight, homes like this one deserve a closer look.

About This Property

1015 Martin Avenue, Ephrata, PA 17522 is a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath brick two-story listed at $545,000 (MLS# PALA2090708, listed by RE/MAX Pinnacle). Built in 1996, the home offers 2,865 finished square feet on a 0.23-acre landscaped corner lot, plus a full unfinished basement and a two-car side-entr...

Aerial view of house in Pennsylvania countryside

Ask anyone in Lancaster County to name the town people fall in love with on a Saturday afternoon, and you'll hear the same answer again and again: Lititz. Once voted America's Coolest Small Town, this borough of roughly 9,700 people anchors the Warwick School District along with Warwick Township and the village of Rothsville. As a local agent, I spend a lot of time showing homes here — so here's what it's really like to live in Lititz, beyond the postcard views.

What Is It Like to Live in Lititz, PA?

Lititz combines a genuinely walkable historic downtown with strong schools and a packed community calenda...
