Hopewell Township offers country homes close to Maryland
Buyers are often drawn to Hopewell Township in York County for its single-family homes among vast acres of rural farmland. The township also sits near Pennsylvania’s border with Maryland, making it a convenient landing spot for commuters to Baltimore. Residents are settled among rolling hills and cornfields, and shop at local businesses in the borough of Stewartstown or support a network of local farm markets around town. “There are some tax advantages to being in Pennsylvania over Maryland,” says Andrew Spangenberger, a resident of the neighboring town of Shrewsbury and a real estate agent with Cummings & Co. Realtors. “We’re also not as densely populated as Maryland tends to be, which can be a huge draw for some.”

Ramblers, Colonial Revivals, Craftsman and New Traditional style homes sit along winding country roads and often feature an acre or more of land. “Industrial farming holds its own around here for sure,” says Spangenberger. “Hobby farming is also something you come across occasionally.

Townhouses can be found in Stewartstown and often range from $190,000 to $340,000.

Baltimore and Harrisburg are an hour from home
Due to the rural nature of the community, Hopewell Township is heavily car dependent.
