Residents are only 4 miles from Lancaster city but drive 10 minutes in the other direction, and they are in the beautiful Amish countryside.” Wooded hills and quiet neighborhood streets define this peaceful suburb, and the area remains popular with homeowners due to its convenient location and abundance of amenities.
