East Lancaster
Midcentury ranches and modern builds
According to Egstrom, a key part of Lancaster's appeal is that it offers a beautiful setting without the premium prices found elsewhere in the region. "Our affordability is fantastic," he says. The housing market in the neighborhood is composed of midcentury ranches closer to central Lancaster and more recently developed tracts on the east side of the neighborhood, which typically feature 2-story new traditional and Spanish-style homes. "New builders are building like crazy right now,” Engstrom says. “We have a lot of land, so they're taking advantage of it." Smaller midcentury homes on the west side typically sell for between $350,000 and $480,000, while the more spacious modern builds usually go for $500,000 to $650,000.East Lancaster education
East Lancaster is served by the Antelope Valley Union High School District and the Lancaster School District. Columbia Elementary School and Gifford Cole Middle School both have a C-minus rating on Niche. Eastside High has a B grade and features a biomedical science academy, digital arts pathway and ed academy geared toward education and social work careers.Lancaster National Soccer Center
The neighborhood is home to a number of well-maintained public parks, though most of these are found closer to the city center. The area’s most popular outdoor space is, without a doubt, the Lancaster National Soccer Center. It has 35 premium fields, five of which meet International FIFA specifications, and hosts youth and adult soccer tournaments and leagues throughout the year. While there isn’t much in the way of hiking in East Lancaster itself, the neighborhood does sit on the edge of the Mojave Desert, and residents are just a short drive from an assortment of desert parks, preserves and equestrian clubs.Big box shopping and neighborhood restaurants
East Lancaster is home to an array of shopping centers and major supermarkets like Vallarta, Superior Grocers and Stater Bros., along with a Walmart Supercenter located in the center of the neighborhood. Additional shopping can be found along State Highway 14, which runs along the west side of the neighborhood.There are a number of popular restaurants in the area. Challenger Tap House Bar and Grill is a favorite for handcrafted bites and beverages, while old-school Italian eatery offers pizza and pasta in a low-key setting. There are a number of Mexican restaurants in the neighborhood, ranging from regional chain El Pollo Loco to popular local spots like Roca del Mar.
Getting around Antelope Valley
State Highway 14 connects East Lancaster, and Lancaster as a whole, to Palmdale, Santa Clarita, and the rest of LA County. Palmdale is just a 10-mile drive from the neighborhood, while Santa Clarita and Downtown LA are 45 and 70 miles away, respectively. The Antelope Valley Transit Authority oversees bus routes in East Lancaster, offering direct connections to the center of town. However, some houses in the neighborhood are miles from the nearest bus stop, and it can require multiple transfers to get from the neighborhood to parts of Palmdale and elsewhere in the community. Palmdale Regional Airport currently doesn’t have scheduled passenger airline service, so when locals need to book flights they usually head down to Burbank International Airport, a 60-mile drive from the neighborhood.
