Small-Town Atmosphere

Gap is a small, rural community along Highway 30 just fifteen miles outside of Lancaster. Folks seeking the quiet solitude of the country life will feel right at home in Gap—farmland surrounds the area, and small mom-and-pop diners dot the landscape. In addition to the atmosphere, Gap benefits from a very low crime rate. Of course, being so close to Lancaster, residents are easily able to enjoy the larger community’s more diverse array of dining, shopping, and entertainment at their leisure. For more adventurous excursions, King of Prussia Mall is only about 45 minutes to the east, and Philadelphia is easily within day-trip distance.
