Even as a small borough, Gettysburg holds one of the most visited historic sites in the country -- yet daily life here feels closer to a tight-knit college town than a tourist destination. Lincoln Square, the central roundabout where major roads converge, anchors a downtown that's easy to navigate on foot, with dining, independent shops, and green spaces all within a short walk. The presence of Gettysburg College, with around 2,500 undergraduates, keeps the community lively and adds an arts-forward energy.

Renters will find a range of housing options that reflect the borough's layered character: converted historic rowhouses, cozy apartment communities tucked along residential streets, and newer townhome-style rentals on the edges of the borough core. The architecture leans heavily toward 19th-century brick and stone, giving the streetscape a sense of place that most small towns can only imitate.
