A mix of urban-suburban living
Located about 2 miles east of Lancaster's historic downtown district, Conestoga Woods straddles East King Street, a major thoroughfare that leads to Pennsylvania's famous Amish country. The neighborhood blends urban and suburban living, showcasing blocks of historic, ornately detailed rowhouses and classic brick duplexes north of King Street. Farther south, tree-lined streets nestled along a long bend of the Conestoga River give way to a mix of single-family homes. “In many parts of the county you can live in a suburban neighborhood while being just minutes from beautiful rolling farmland or from the convenience and fun of city life,” says Craig Hartranft, Realtor and team leader with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Homesale Realty, who has decades of experience in the industry. In Conestoga Woods, residents have both. With historic homes, nearby amenities and acres of fertile farmland just a few miles away, Conestoga Woods offers a glimpse of suburbia just a short distance from Downtown Lancaster's charming streetscapes.

Rowhouses, duplexes and single-family homes
East King Street divides Conestoga Woods. The northern side of the neighborhood features densely populated residential streets with early 20th-century colorful brick rowhouses, twin duplexes and the occasional single-family home. Properties sit close together, assembled as an extension of the city. Rowhouses range from the mid $100,000s to the mid $200,000s, depending on interior upgrades and square footage. Detached Cape Cods, American Foursquares and 20th-century colonial-style homes can range from the low $300,000s to the mid $500,000s. South of King Street, tree-lined streets give way to a mix of mid-20th-century Cape Cods, split-level, colonial- and ranch-style homes. Properties are typically set back from the road and feature landscaped gardens on roomy lots. Sales prices can range from the mid $300,000s to the upper $400,000s. Other streets showcase 21st-century New Traditionals and colonial-style homes that feature attached two-car garages priced from the low $400,000s to the low $500,000s.

Eateries and essentials along King Street
A handful of restaurants are scattered along East King Street. El Cubano serves bold and colorful Cuban sandwiches, while Alice's Diner is known for classic brunch items. Next door, Lancaster Brasserie stands out with its French-inspired American fare like New York strip steak au poivre, a French take on filet mignon drenched in peppercorn sauce. Down the street, Conestoga Restaurant is another hidden gem housed in an old stone inn that overlooks the Conestoga River. A spacious outdoor patio offers a relaxing atmosphere to share a plate of stuffed grape leaves and steamed mussels. Upscale eateries like the Horse Inn and casual spots like Lancaster Brewing Company are less than 2 miles away in Downtown Lancaster.
East King Street is also home to Weis Markets, pharmacies and additional small businesses. The city's famous Lancaster Central Market is another popular option for farm-fresh produce, meat and dairy products. “Many residents do opt to shop for local produce and homemade goods, but most residents enjoy a mix of both local offerings and store-bought options,” Hartranft says. Big box retailers such as Costco and Walmart are approximately 2 miles away before reaching the rural Amish countryside dotted with the occasional farmstand.

Recreation at Lancaster County Central Park
Reservoir Park is located north of East King Street. This urban open space features a street hockey rink, basketball courts and a wading pool. The Common Wheel Bicycle Co-Op, located underneath the park's signature water tower, offers youth and adult repair workshops and the Earn A Bike after-school program, where students can learn to fix up and “earn” a bike of their own. The Conestoga River bends along the neighborhood's south side and gives way to protected woodlands, walking trails and green spaces like Holly Point Park. Canopied by tall sugar maple trees, Holly Point features a small playground, swing set and picnic.
Along South Conestoga Drive, a small parking lot marks the start of the Conestoga Greenway Trail, which is a paved mile-long path that weaves along the river's banks and ends at South Duke Street. From South Duke Street, Lancaster County Central Park is just across the river, but the river’s narrow bends make it about a 1-mile drive. Central Park is the county's largest park, spanning 544 acres of rolling hills. Amenities include an outdoor swimming pool with slides, a skatepark, tennis courts, sports fields and a community garden with small plots available for rent. An environmental center offers outdoor education programs, while nearly ten hiking trails wind around the property. The park is also home to historic sites like Rock Ford Plantation and the Mill Creek Camping Area for a quick staycation.

Two miles to downtown
Bus routes run along East King Street, the community's main thoroughfare, and connect residents to Downtown Lancaster, about 2 miles west. Downtown Lancaster is also home to Lancaster General Hospital and the local Amtrak station. However, many residents depend on their personal vehicles to get around, with nearby roads such as U.S. Route 30 and U.S. Route 222. U.S. Route 30 merges with Pennsylvania State Route 283, which leads about 35 miles northwest to Harrisburg International Airport.
Lancaster County Youth Intervention Center is also located in the neighborhood. The center is situated along an isolated plot encircled by densely wooded areas and two long bends of the Conestoga River.
