Situated in southeastern Pennsylvania, Lancaster is known for its rolling farmland, hand-crafted Amish goods, horse and buggies, and laid-back lifestyle.

With a focus on historic preservation, Lancaster offers an array of historic sites and architecture, including 57 landmarks listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As a renter in Lancaster, you can see where James Buchanan lived at Wheatland, or get a taste for the artistic side of the city by enjoying a world-class performance at the American Music Theatre. First Fridays, Fulton Opera House, Pennsylvania College of Art and Design, and several galleries downtown are all available to residents and visitors alike.
Long’s Park and Lancaster County Central Park are just a few of the green spaces in the city.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
