South New Danville
Stretching south of Lancaster, South New Danville’s rolling hills and farm fields form a picturesque landscape home to a small rural community.
South New Danville is an unincorporated community within the Peaquea Township. Its name comes from the area’s main thoroughfare, the New Danville Pike, which passes through New Danville, a small one-stoplight town. “There’s only a few businesses, a tiny strip mall and a fire company,” says Jesse Hersh, a local Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services who grew up in neighboring Millersville. “It’s mostly rural farmland.” Further south of central New Danville, you’ll find lines and pockets of residential development. The area’s homes generally start at about $250,000, which can net a modest ranch-style home or split-level house. Home prices can jump significantly from there, as colonial-style brick and stone houses built within the last 40 years can range from $500,000 to $2 million.
The highly rated Penn Manor School district encompasses the neighborhood, so students generally attend Conestoga Elementary and Pequea Elementary, Marticville Middle School and Penn Manor High School. Niche ranks the school district as the fourth best in the Lancaster Area and gives it an A- with high marks for academic success, teacher quality, and student readiness for college.
For more than 50 years, Pine View Dairy has served as a communal gathering place where people come for nourishment and diversion. Established in 1971, the dairy operates a farm store and ice cream parlor where guests can visit its cows in the barns, allowing kids to see firsthand how the dairy gets its milk. Near the New Danville Fire Company, Cherry Hill Orchards lets visitors explore its grounds to pick baskets of cherries, blackberries, apples and peaches. The site also includes a market and garden center where you can buy flowers, jams, fruit pies, cheeses and farm-fresh eggs. While the picking season is only in the summer, you can return to the garden center in December to bring home a Christmas tree.
There are only a few stores and places to visit in South New Danville, but residents are about 5 miles away from downtown’s lively arts, music and food scene. Also close are a few busier rural localities with national and regional franchise restaurants and some mom-and-pop shops. And while Lancaster, with its jobs and offices, is conveniently close, South New Danville’s residents are only a couple hours away from other cities and metropolises such as York, Harrisburg, Baltimore and Philadelphia.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
