Rural properties and small subdivisions in Orange

Orange Township offers quiet rural properties and small subdivisions with easy access to outdoor attractions and Bloomsburg, which is Columbia County’s largest town. The county, founded in 1813 from parts of Northumberland County, has long been supported by its agricultural industry. Like much of Pennsylvania, mining was a big industry here in the 1800s and 1900s, though there are no longer any active mines in this area. The community circles a borough named Orangeville, which has a small collection of shops and municipal facilities that Orange residents can utilize.

Mid-20th-century homes starting in the $150,000s

The town features colonial, ranch-style and split-level homes from the 1950s to the 2000s. Properties along backroads offer larger plots, and two subdivisions create a more traditionally suburban lifestyle. Lot sizes for the area’s rural properties range from an acre up to 10 acres. Homes in the community typically sell for $150,000 to $450,000.

Students can attend A-rated schools

Students may start at Central Columbia Elementary, which teaches kindergarten through fourth grade and gets an A-minus from Niche, before going to Central Columbia Middle, which teaches fifth to eighth grade and earns an A. Central Columbia Senior High also receives an A-minus and offers vocational and technical education programs in fields like engineering and agricultural operations.

Playground in the south end, nearby game lands and off-roading courses

In the south end of Orange, Kocher Park provides a playground, picnic area and a trail dotted with nature-themed art pieces. State Game Lands Number 55 is just east of town with hiking, hunting and horseback riding opportunities. The Evansville MX Park, located 10 miles east, offers twisty courses for riding dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles. The Keystone Horse Center is also just 10 miles south with indoor and outdoor facilities.

Mando’s on Route 487, shopping in Bloomsburg

Along state Route 487, Mando’s is a locally owned restaurant that serves pizza and Italian dishes. For groceries, many residents head 8 miles west to Bloomsburg to shop at Aldi and Walmart. Popular chains includes Lowe’s Home Improvement, Marshalls and Petco.

Commuting via Route 487, I-80

Commuters can take state Route 487 just 5 miles south to connect with Interstate 80, which runs an additional 150 miles east to New York City. Geisinger Bloomsburg Hospital is 7 miles south. The closest airport, Wilkes-Barre Scranton International, is 55 miles north.
