Ross Homes for Rent

The Ross neighborhood in Lancaster is characterized by its narrow, gridded streets lined with early 20th-century townhouses, featuring modest front porches and dormer windows. Small alleyways and brick arches add to the historic charm, though parking can be challenging due to the prevalence of rowhomes. Recent trends include property flips and the introduction of new condos and apartments. Green spaces such as Lancaster Cemetery and Saint Mary’s Cemetery offer serene walking paths, while Sixth Ward Park provides recreational facilities including a basketball court, baseball field, and a summer wading pool with free lunches for kids. Local dining options include American Bar & Grill and Quips Pub, known for its English-style fare and extensive draft list. For shopping, residents can visit big-box stores about 2 miles north or the Lancaster Central Market for fresh produce. The neighborhood's urban layout makes it walkable and bike-friendly, with convenient access to U.S. Route 30 and Red Rose Transit Authority buses. Lancaster General Hospital, the city’s largest employer, is centrally located in Ross, attracting many healthcare professionals to the area. Philadelphia is less than 80 miles away, with other major cities like Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and New York City within 100 to 150 miles. The School District of Lancaster serves the area, with elementary students attending Wickersham or Ross Elementary, and older students going to Lincoln Middle and McCaskey High, which offers an International Baccalaureate Diploma and career and technical education programs.
