Diverse housing and price points define East Petersburg

East Petersburg is a pleasant suburban borough with an active community, a main street with local buzz and residential areas with a diverse mix of homes. “East Petersburg has anything from 1800s colonials to brand new homes,” says Kathy Ross, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. “Prices range anywhere from $200,000 to $1 million, so there’s something for everyone.”

Ranch-style, split-level and colonial homes fill residential streets

Much of East Petersburg is made up of single-family homes from the mid-1900s, including ranch-style and split-level houses on quarter-acre lots, selling for around $275,000 to $400,000. Late 19th-century and early 20th-century colonial-style homes are scattered around town approximately in the same price range, adding a touch of historic charm to the community. And then you have newer housing developments that modernize the borough with two-story contemporary craftsman-style houses, which sell for around $750,000 to $1 million. If a town house is more your style, you can get one with three bedrooms and 1,200 square feet of living space for around $200,000 to $250,000, or a 2,300 square-foot town house with an attached garage for about $300,000 to $325,000.

Community parks host events, sports and fitness activities

Get some fresh air at East Petersburg Community Park, a community hub for local events such as East Petersburg Days. The multi-day event is held every September and draws the whole community to enjoy carnival rides, live music from a stage, fireworks and much more. That’s just one of the many festivities throughout the year. But on any given day, the park is a nice spot to play basketball and tennis with friends and for kids to play on the playground and ball fields. You can also work on your cardio on the paved looping trail at East Petersburg Community Fitness Park and work out at the outdoor exercise station.

Walkable dining options range from pizza to pub fare

Main Street runs right through the middle of East Petersburg, where you can walk or take a short drive to all of the borough’s local businesses. “There’s a lot right at your fingertips,” says Ross, “Those who I’ve sold to love that you can walk to all the restaurants.” Head to Family Fare for a homey diner atmosphere and classic American breakfast, or grab a slice of pizza from Gargano’s. Both restaurants have been serving the community for decades. You also have newer establishments like Mad Chef Craft Brewing, which opened in 2015, where you can have fun playing trivia or listening to live music while enjoying delicious pub grub and craft beer. For everyday shopping needs, you’ll find several big box retailers three miles south in Lancaster.
