Laid-back living, community and acreage define Hanover Township
Hanover Township offers privacy, drawing residents looking for 2 or more acres. People move here for its laid-back country lifestyle, caring community and woodlands to hunt and fish in. "Your neighbors might be waving from a few acres away, but they are always there for you,” says Susan Daniel, a Certified Negotiation Expert and Hanover local. She recalls a time when there was a snake on her porch and all she had to do was call someone and they "cleared it right up.”
Racoon Creek State Park anchors outdoor life
Smack dab in the middle of this township is Racoon Creek State Park with its campground, 44-mile trail and 101-acre lake for fishing and kayaking. Hidden within the park is a natural spring running along an iron-rich cave wall. Locals say its water has healing properties. Overnight visitors can stay at the park’s lakeside lodge or modern cabins.
The mineral springs are a main attraction in Raccoon Creek State Park.

Secluded cabins, manufactured homes and ranch-styles on wooded lots
Hanover’s houses surround the state park on their own patch of forest, secluded from neighbors. Cabins, mobile homes, new traditionals, ranch-style properties and farmhouses are standard here. Country roads abound with woodland so leafy and dense in the spring and summer it hides deer within them. There may not be a large housing stock, but according to Daniel, homes sell quickly as soon as they’re listed. The median single-family price is about $370,000.
Split-level homes are common in Hanover Township.
Newer homes can also be found, or built, in Hanover Township.
