Heidelberg Home for Rent

Heidelberg, located in Heidelberg Township, offers a mix of rural charm and small-town living. Homes here are spread across the countryside, with large lots ranging from half an acre to 20 acres. The housing styles predominantly include ranch-style and split-level homes from the 1970s and '80s, along with some older cottages, farmhouses, and occasional new constructions. Detached outbuildings like barns and workshops are common. The area boasts a low crime rate, safer than the national average. Heidelberg Township Park, on the western edge of Schaefferstown, features youth baseball and softball facilities, a new playground, and a combined pickleball-basketball court. The nearby 6,000-acre Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area offers extensive trails, bird-watching opportunities, and events like the Wild Goose Chase 5k Race. The Clyde Martin Memorial Speedway provides local entertainment with its Micro Sprint racing. Essential businesses include Dutch-Way Farm Market, BB’s Grocery Outlet, and dining options like Dutch-Way Family Restaurant and K-Ville Hotel & Tavern. The area is well-connected by state highways, with Lebanon 5 to 10 miles northwest and Harrisburg’s attractions and airport 35 to 40 miles west. While the Eastern Lebanon County School District schools have mixed ratings, the community also includes Mennonite and Christian private schools.
