White two-story house surrounded by tall pine trees with a paved driveway

Every so often a listing crosses my desk that doesn't look like anything else on the market, and 231 Park Avenue is one of those. It's a genuine log home tucked into a quiet corner of Elizabeth Township just outside Lititz, and it's been rebuilt from the studs out over the last few years without losing the character that made it worth saving in the first place. For buyers watching the Warwick School District market this fall, it's worth a second look.

About This Property

231 Park Avenue is listed at $439,900 and offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms across 1,452 square feet, all on a 0.70-acre lot in the Lititz-Brickerville area. Built in 1944, this is a true log home, and the current owners have spent real...

Lush green cornfield landscape in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

Gap doesn't show up on many "best places to live" lists, and that's kind of the point. This small Salisbury Township community sits right where Route 30 crosses into Lancaster County's Amish farmland, offering buyers a quieter, more affordable alternative to Lititz or Manheim Township without giving up easy access to Lancaster city, Coatesville, or Philadelphia. Here's what it's actually like to live here.

Where Is Gap, PA?

Gap is a small unincorporated community and census-designated place in Salisbury Township, in the eastern end of Lancaster County. U.S. Route 30 (the Lincoln Highway) runs straight through town, and Gap also sits at the terminus of four state routes — PA 41, PA 741, PA 772, and PA 897...

Idyllic autumn farm landscape in Pennsylvania

Most of what I write about is a town I work in. Reinholds is different — it's the town I actually live in. So when people ask me what it's really like here, I'm not guessing based on comps and school ratings. I'm telling you what my own street looks like on a Tuesday evening.

Is Reinholds, PA a Good Place to Live?

Yes — Reinholds is a good fit for buyers who want genuine quiet, easy highway access, and a real sense of community, without needing a walkable downtown to feel settled. It's an unincorporated community in West Cocalico Township, Lancaster County's northernmost census-designated place, with a population of about 1,786 as of the 2020 Census.

There's no traffic light, no strip mall, no "downtown" in the tradit...

Pennsylvania countryside on a sunny day

If you've widened your search past Lititz and Manheim Township prices and landed on Millersville, you're in good company. This small Lancaster County borough — five miles southwest of Lancaster city and home to Millersville University — has quietly become one of the fastest-growing places to live in the county. Here's what buyers actually need to know before touring homes here.

Is Millersville, PA a Good Place to Live?

Yes — Millersville works well for buyers who want a walkable small-town feel, a well-regarded school district, and quick access to Lancaster city without paying Lancaster city prices. It's a borough of roughly 9,250 residents as of 2023, and it grew faster than almost anywhere else in Lancaster County over the previous three years.

That growth isn't an accident. Mil...
