Families, retirees and more flock to this York suburb
Situated just a few miles southeast of Downtown York, Valley View is a quiet suburb with an impressive variety of home styles, most residences within a few minutes of highways and suburban attractions. “It’s got a lot of starter and middle class homes. People who live there love that it’s close to Interstate 85, U.S. Route 30 and a lot of great parks and shopping centers,” says Sam Stein, broker of record at Inch & Co. Real Estate and lifelong resident of York. “Homes retain their value and are great for resale. I tell people, if you buy a home in the York Suburban School District, that’s money in the bank.” And the neighborhood’s conveniences attract more than just families looking for quality schools. “A lot of people are moving to the area for work, especially in the medical and manufacturing sectors,” says Jason Phillips, Realtor with Re/Max who has been selling homes for 8 years. “And York was recently voted one of the top 10 places to retire, so we’re seeing a lot of retirees moving into the area, too. It’s a great mix of people.”
A large "Welcome to York" greets residents as they return to Valley View.
Valley View gets its name from the stunning views of the York Valley from atop the hills.

A mix of homes with steady values
Valley View’s streets follow a grid plan, though the pattern shifts direction slightly in the hilly south and east. The northern side of the neighborhood is alleyed, with many residents opting to park in garages and lots behind their properties. The neighborhood’s housing stock is varied and includes Cape Cods, Tudor Revival cottages and ranch-style builds. American Four Squares are clustered on the neighborhood’s north end. “Most homes in Valley View were built in the 1950s and ‘60s, but we have a lot of new constructions, too,” says Stein, who has been representing transactions in the York area for 34 years. “Homes are well taken care of and built right, with a lot of brick and a lot of hardwood flooring.” Prices typically run from $160,000 to $350,000, with a median price of about $245,000. “Valley View and other neighborhoods in the York Suburban School District are in a landlocked area in that there’s nowhere to build anymore,” Stein says. “This keeps prices where they are.” Townhouses and semi-detached homes can be found on the north side of the neighborhood close to Mt. Rose Avenue, running from $120,000 to $220,000. Many semi-detached homes are in fact American Four Squares converted into duplexes, though sold as separate units.
American Foursquare homes are a popular option for buyers in Valley View.

Eating challenges at The Steak Out and upscale Italian fare at a former church
The shops at Queensgate Towne Center just south of the neighborhood keep locals stocked with groceries. Stores include Weis, a supermarket, and CommunityAid, a thrift store. Shoppers on the north side might visit Save-A-Lot at Mt. Rose Plaza. A two-story mall, York Galleria, is 4 miles north of Valley View. Retailers include Boscov’s, Bath & Body Works and Marshalls.
