Meadia Heights is a quiet suburb with community amenities
Even cozier than the pioneer wagons named after Lancaster's signature riverway, Meadia Heights might be far from the Golden Coast, but it's a desirable place to settle in its own right. Just past the city of Lancaster’s southern boundary, Meadia Heights is a small suburban community nestled along the various bends of the Conestoga River. Most of the area’s homes were built in the last 40 years as growth trended outward. Though it’s more sparsely populated than the city’s neighborhoods, residents are clustered in apartments, town houses and single-family houses that are part of contemporary residential developments featuring sidewalks, playgrounds, clubhouses and ample parking spaces.
Meadia Heights is full of local art and beautiful murals.

A mix of townhouses, single-family homes and new builds
“There’s a lot of new construction happening out that way,” says Christine Nolt, a Lancaster County native and partner in Kingsway Realty with the Nolt & Bailey Team. “The section of townhomes is especially affordable. And they sell fast because it’s a great place to live for families.” Home prices in Meadia Heights are on par with average housing costs in the Lancaster area. Modest three-story town houses and split-level homes with a driveway or attached garage can range from $200,000 to $300,000. If you're seeking a newly built home or a custom-build, however, expect about $350,000 to $500,000.

Lancaster schools get a C-plus on Niche, have a popular gifted program
Still located within the city school district, Nolt says some of her past clients moved to the area for the school division’s Gifted and Talented program, which places exemplary students on unique lesson plans to meet their advanced learning needs. At Hamilton Elementary, which Niche gives a C, students learn to be part of a community at an early age, participating in monthly assemblies, working at the school’s community garden and celebrating holidays and events like the yearly Thanksgiving feast and spring musical. Across from the Martin School, which serves students K-8th grade and has a C, kids and adults play games at the Comet Field Park’s outdoor ball fields. After middle school, students from the community generally take the bus or drive across the city to attend McCaskey High School, which has a B-minus.

Golf at a private club, tennis courts and disc golf at local park
While the various subdivisions have different names, the neighborhood’s name is derived from the nearby Meadia Heights Golf Club, a private institution established in 1922. In addition to its 18-hole championship course, the club includes a swimming pool and a clubhouse restaurant. If golf and membership fees don’t interest you, locals can still enjoy the lush green environment at D.F. Buchmiller County Park, a nearly 80-acre public space with playgrounds, picnic pavilions and other amenities. Windolph Landing Park is a quiet place for anglers to cast a line into the Conestoga River.
