Small-town vibes centered around Main Street businesses just outside of York
When people think of small-town America, they might conjure up an image that looks a lot like Dallastown. Historic homes are sandwiched between local shops and restaurants along Main Street, with the rolling Susquehanna Valley hills stretching beyond. “There’s a lot of well-loved small businesses, and the whole town comes together for parades and holiday celebrations,” says Susan Spahr, a Realtor with Century 21 Core Partners who grew up the next town over in Red Lion. For those who want a small-town, know-your-neighbor feel while being just 20 minutes from York, with other benefits like highly rated schools and nearby lake access to boot, Dallastown checks all the boxes.
Local eats on Main Street with locally famous hot dogs
A handful of local restaurants line Main Street. Residents can grab a handmade pie from Parma Pizza and Grill or dine on curry and noodles at casual restaurant Krua Thai Café. It’s just across the street from Sechrist Brothers Meats, a butchery that’s been serving Dallastown since 1874 and is famous for its smoked hot dogs. For everyday products and produce, locals head up to Windsor Commons Shopping Center, where they’ll find supermarkets like Giant and Weis Markets.
Sechrist Brothers is a third generation butcher shop on Main St in Dallastown, PA.
Krua Thai Cafe is your local spot for pad thai or any other delicious food.

Dallastown Community Carnival and holiday events
For a place with a population of just under 5,000, Dallastown has a lively community spirit and collective support for the local businesses that make the town distinct. Christmas in Dallastown annually brings business to over 200 vendors selling holiday wares. The town also comes together for the Halloween parade, which sees creative floats decked out by participants to toss out candy to onlooking kids. The biggest event of the year is the Dallastown Community Carnival, where residents enjoy five days’ worth of fried food, Ferris wheel rides and live music from bluegrass to classic rock.
From classic Foursquares to cozy cottages
Along Main Street, homes cluster densely together. Classic American Foursquares with large porches where residents can enjoy the weather from their patio chairs are popular here, alongside townhouses that sit perched just above the street. Further out, there are more ranch-style homes, cottages and Cape Cods with more substantial lawns and shady trees. Some houses were built as far back as the late 1800s, though a few newer post-2000 builds can be found, mainly in the form of modern townhouses. Occasionally, a fixer-upper townhouse with two bedrooms might sell for $100,000, but prices can also climb as high as $355,000 for a Colonial-inspired contemporary home with four bedrooms and more room to relax.
Multiple styles line the streets with a sidewalk for neighbors to say hello with.

High-scoring Dallastown Schools have a beloved football team
Zoned to Dallastown Area School District, kids can start out at Dallastown Elementary, which scores an A rating from Niche. Grades 4-6 attend Dallas Area Intermediate, while grades 7-8 attend Dallastown Area Middle. Both schools hold a B-plus rating and have a student-teacher ratio of 16-to-1. Dallastown Area High earns an A-minus and is home to a beloved football team. On crisp autumn Friday nights, the town comes out to Wildcat Stadium to cheer on the team. “The rivalry with the Red Lions Area High is a big deal around here,” Spahr says.

Picnics at Dallastown Park's pavilion
At Dallastown Park, parents can sit on the benches while the kids climb and swing on the playground. The tables under the shade of the pavilion also make the park ideal for a picnic or to cheer on the baseball games at the diamond. William Kain Park is 10 minutes to the west near Jacobus, but it’s more than worth the short drive for the views of Lake Redman. The sandy shores allow locals to boat, fish or soak up some sun.
