A grove of rural homes in the Susquehanna Valley
Susquehanna Trails, also known by York County residents as “The Trails,” is a small residential island surrounded by an ocean of farms amidst the rolling hills of the Pennsylvania Piedmont. Adam McCallister, a Realtor with eXp and former resident who attended the South Eastern School District, notes that although this community is in the countryside, that’s precisely the appeal for the right buyer. “It’s a small, wooded pocket with a number of single-wide and double-wide manufactured homes. You’re moving there because you might have a neighbor, but you don’t care to see him!” McCallister jokes. “And because you want a little private place of your own to call home.” Mary Smith, Realtor with Re/Max Delta, agrees. “It’s a great neighborhood to live in if you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful community.”

Locally owned businesses in nearby Delta
Restaurants and other local businesses are in the town of Delta just a few miles southeast. “The great thing about businesses here is they’re owned and run by neighbors. You don’t have fast-food joints like McDonald’s but a neighborhood pizza place and a neighborhood sandwich shop,” McCallister says. Delta Pizza is the pizzeria in question, a ristorante with an interior decorated with taxidermized animals and American paraphernalia such as old license plates and rusty bicycles. The eatery serves up Italian-American cuisine with a side of live music on select nights. And Delta Family Restaurant is the local sandwich shop, family owned since 1993. The eatery offers patty melts, meatloaf and comfort food favorites. Peach Bottom Inn welcomes diners to try weekly specials, homemade desserts and holiday meals such as a Thanksgiving dinner. Local shops in the area include Half Price Hardware and Delta General Store & Auto Store. Dollar General and ShopRite sit by the Maryland state line. Handcrafted goods, fresh produce and specialty products are sold at Creek Hill Market and Amish Country Variety Store, both within a 7-mile drive of the neighborhood. McCallister notes that residents will head 20 miles south to Bel Air, Maryland for bigger shopping trips.
