More than peanuts and crackerjacks
The crack of the bat while the aroma of fresh-roasted pecans wafts across the parking lot defines Lancaster’s Stadium District in the warm summer months. Clipper Magazine Stadium is the centerpiece of this mixed-use neighborhood, where century-old Colonial rowhomes sit across the street from modern high-rise condos with front-row seats on the roof. “There has been a ton of investment in the Stadium District in the past decade - the stadium is a huge draw,” says Jennifer Augustine Lewis, Realtor with Realty ONE Group Unlimited. The award-winning ballpark – named best in the independent leagues by Ballpark Digest for three straight years – is abuzz throughout the year, bringing out neighbors and visitors alike. After a game, residents may wander the mix-and-match sidewalks that go from brick to concrete to cobblestone as they head to one of the breweries or bars in the area, or take a walk downtown, as a major draw of the district is that it has all the accessibility to downtown without the hubbub.

Creative combinations and neighborhood cornerstones
It’s easy to make a night of it in the Stadium District thanks to a wealth of drinking and dining options that surround the stadium – although the ballpark food is certainly a highlight for many thanks to award-winning Hess’s Barbecue, holders of over 100 local and regional awards. Route 66 has been called the best cheeseburger in Pennsylvania, but locals know the real treats are their India-meets-Nashville mash-ups like their Tandoori Hot Fried Chicken, along with their homemade falafel burger. Lombardo’s Restaurant has been a fixture since 1946, serving Italian specialties, while newcomer John J. Jeffries is renowned for their farm-to-table menu that focuses on local producers. Chuck an axe and raise a horn of the beverage of the Vikings at Meduseld Meadery, a one-of-a-kind experience, or step across the street to The Fridge, one of the original craft beer bars in the region. Saturday mornings usually get their start with an early-morning hangover cure from the Neptune Diner, coffee from Mean Cup and one of Beiler’s Doughnuts rich creations, before taking the short walk to Lancaster Central Market. When residents want to cook at home, they’ll crab some fresh catch from Mr. Bill’s Fresh Seafood, or head to the Weis market at Red Rose Commons, which also features big box stores like The Home Depot.

Old rowhomes and apartments with a view
As the Stadium District evolves, so does the housing. The tightly packed brick rowhomes in the northern portion of the neighborhood – some featuring colorful paint jobs – date back to the late 19th century, sporting hints of Italianate and Colonial design. Many of these have undergone renovations over the years, but retain features including older plumbing and wiring, as well as plaster walls. More recently, modern condos and apartments – like the ones at Stadium Row with views of the park from their rooftop – have begun to rise over the townhomes, raising prices along with them. “This area has been changing so much the past several years. It's definitely on the radar of buyers from out of town, as it's seen as ‘up and coming’,” notes Augustine Lewis, a longtime resident herself. Two- and three-bed rowhomes with small backyards – usually only a few hundred square feet – generally fetch from $140,000 to $250,000, while four-bedroom units and thoroughly renovated homes usually sell for $300,000 to $400,000. Condos range from $250,000 to $475,000 depending on size.

A popular spot for dogs, a hidden gem for kids
There is plenty of green space in the Stadium District, but it is devoted mainly towards open space and playing fields. While nearby Franklin & Marshall College owns them, they allow residents to use them for frisbee, a kick-around, and even the first cricket pitch in Lancaster. Nearby Buchanan Park features basketball and tennis courts that see heavy use, as well as a playground and a dog park for four-legged socializing. Mayor Janice Stork Corridor Park is a hidden gem, with a few play areas as well as a basketball court. The neighborhood is also home to the City Center YMCA, with a pool, fitness classes, and a very busy fitness center.
Dogs and their owners spend many fun afternoons at Buchanan Park in the the West End.

Constant commotion at Clipper
Clipper Magazine is a hub of events throughout the year. The independent Atlantic League Lancaster Barnstormers play out the season from spring through fall, with residents attending the games as much for sport as for spending time letting the kids play in the outfield playground and getting to meet Cylo. Post-game fireworks on Fridays can be enjoyed from porches, backyards and rooftops throughout the neighborhood. The stadium is also host to concerts and community sports leagues throughout the year, along with the annual Christmas Spirit Light Show through the holiday season. Residents will also make the short walk downtown, where the small shops and restaurants for monthly First Fridays.

Commuter-friendly Lancaster living
The Stadium District is incredibly walkable - “You'll see lots of pedestrians, folks walking to and from work at the hospital or the train station,” says Augustine Lewis. Combined with bike-friendly roadways and Red Rose Transit Authority bus routes, this allows residents to get by without a car on most days if they want to. It also helps that major employers in the city like Lancaster Leaf, Armstrong Flooring, and Burnham are within or adjacent to the neighborhood, while the Amtrak station provides daily service for commuters to Harrisburg or Philadelphia. Lancaster General Hospital – the largest employer in the city – is located two blocks from the District, providing emergency care for residents. While Lancaster Airport is only 10 miles north, flights are limited. Residents instead will drive to Harrisburg International, 32 miles northwest, for flights out of the region.

Franklin and Marshall College has elite athletic programs in Stadium District.
Rehabilitating the city’s northwest
The wide swath of green space and fields on the top edge of the Stadium District wasn’t always a playground for collegiate athletes and local residents. It started out as an industrial brownfield, and the effort by the city and other local businesses and institutions helped turn one of the least desirable pieces of land in the city into the emerald expanse it is today.
