Stevens offers quiet living near a historic college campus
Stevens spans a small section of the city east of downtown and includes a small college campus that's been part of the community's fabric for over a century. Some might imagine a college neighborhood in an urban environment could get crazy and loud, but neighbors in Stevens enjoy a quiet and comfortable lifestyle in this primarily residential enclave that includes the campus of Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology.

Historic homes are smaller and priced lower than city average
As an older neighborhood, though, the various row houses and Colonial-inspired buildings from the late 1800s and early 20th century tend to be smaller and arranged for a higher population density. Fortunately, home prices here are generally more affordable than the rest of Lancaster. For around $100,000 to $175,000, homebuyers can purchase a brick house, possibly with a front porch looking out onto the street. The most expensive sales of late, which show transactions upward of $300,000, tend to be for exquisitely remodeled properties or a two-unit, semi-detached twin house.

College and grade school students share this walkable area
The area has folks of various ages, backgrounds and professions. Students and professors are part of the community. There are backpack-toting college students leaving the house for classes during the day, as the Thaddeus Stevens campus includes several dormitories for its approximately 1,300 students. But, residents will more likely see grade school students, as the Lancaster School District's Washington Elementary School and Jackson Middle School are both in the community. From there, students typically go to McCaskey High School.
Christine Nolt, a Lancaster area native and partner in Kingsway Realty with the Nolt & Bailey Team, says that the city school division's Gifted and Talented program is also a draw for families seeking specialized lesson plans for students with advanced learning needs. "People have told me they want to be in the school district for their kids," she says of the program. "It gives students a lot of opportunities."

Greenway trail and river access connect residents to nature
Reservoir Park across from the neighborhood draws large crowds, as the open space features a street hockey rink, basketball courts and a wading pool. The Common Wheel Bicycle Co-Op is underneath the park's signature water tower for youth and adult repair workshops and the Earn A Bike after-school program. And with the Conestoga River coursing through the area near the neighborhood, it's easy to hop on the greenway trail to explore the local ecosystem and enjoy the natural environment just minutes from home.

Corner stores and take-out spots mix with downtown favorites
Within the neighborhood, residents can shop at a few different corner stores and take-out restaurants like Jibarito, a small joint inspired by Puerto Rican, Mexican and New York City flavors delivered in the form of empanadas, mofongo stew, roasted pork sandwiches and spicy morcilla blood sausage. Locals often shop and dine downtown. Throughout the year, local businesses and organizers put on events like the Rhubarb Festival and First Fridays, a monthly celebration featuring special art exhibitions, performances and events celebrating the city's arts, culture and food scenes. When the Lancaster Central Market is open Fridays, Saturdays and Tuesdays, over 60 vendors and thousands of patrons convene at the country's oldest continuously operating farmer's market. "There's a lot of new bars and restaurants opening downtown. It's attracting people to live around there," Nolt says. "It's a walkable city, so people are drawn to it."
