New Holland doesn't try hard to impress anyone, and that's exactly why buyers keep asking about it.

There's a particular kind of home that stops me mid-scroll when new listings come across my desk, and 24 Race Avenue in Lancaster is one of them.

2-Bed Condo in Manheim Township — Here's Why Low-Maintenance Buyers Should Pay Attention

I keep an eye on what's moving in Manheim Township, and this one caught my attention right away. It's a one-floor-living condo tucked into the Greenview Terrace community, priced under $390,000 in a school district that doesn't see this kind of inventory very often. If you've been waiting for a Manheim Township home that trades yard work for weekend flexibility, this one is worth a look.

Condos and low-maintenance homes don't come up often in this district, and when they do, they tend to attract a lot of attention fast. That's part of why I wanted to flag this one for an...
