The city of York proudly stands as both the first city of the New World and the place the Articles of Confederation were founded. Downtown York lies between Docorus Creek, Queen Street, and College Avenue, and it features several historical buildings such as the Bonham House and the Martin Library. Residents enjoy visiting the smattering of museums, including the Historical Society of York County Museum and Library.

Minutes from surrounding affordable apartments, the majority of these museums and historical attractions lie along Market Street, the main thoroughfare that runs through Downtown York. Locals spend their weekends perusing fresh produce at Central Market, the oldest farmers market in the country. The Central Market is located in an impressive brick building built from 1888 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building takes up nearly an entire city block and features dormers and arches — you won't miss this attraction or living in Downtown York.
