Surrounded by the rural countryside of Warwick Township, Rothsville is a small, laid-back town, seeped in history and farmland with the occasional horse and buggy.
Running east and west through the center of town, Main Street is populated with homes from the late 1800s. From American Foursquares to colonials, these 19th-century homes exude historic charm in what feels like an old-world village. Those with newly renovated interiors sell for around $400,000 to $450,000. Others with less recent modifications range from $250,000 to $350,000. As you veer off onto one of the side streets, you’re suddenly greeted to newer colonial and craftsman style homes in housing developments. Some offer lots of surrounding trees that make you feel more like you’re in the woods, while others display sprawling corn fields from the backyard. Ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet, these three-to-four-bedroom homes sell anywhere from $350,000 to $500,000.
Though Main Street is primarily residential, there are two popular restaurants that have been serving the community for decades. White Swan is located in the oldest building in Rothsville, built in 1790. It has served many purposes over the years, transitioning from a blacksmith and butcher shop, an orchard, horse stables and a hotel. Today, it’s purpose is to serve hungry locals, whether by the indoor fireplace, at the bar or on the cozy outdoor patio. Caruso’s Family Italian Restaurant is just a couple blocks away. The Lancaster regional chain has been serving the community for more than 30 years, offering Italian-American dishes like pizza, subs and wings. For everyday shopping needs, there’s a shopping center with a Target and GIANT about four miles away in Lititz. Or you can shop from one of the many farmer’s markets in the surrounding area.
One of the major draws to Rothsville is the 7-mile Warwick to Ephrata Rail Trail. “A lot of people want to live near the rail trail,” says Noah Martin, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway. “It’s become a real community hub.” The paved trail, built along the old Reading Railroad, will have you passing beautiful farmland as you head either four miles east to Warwick or three miles to Lititz. Lions Park offers more outdoor fun for locals. Hang out with friends and family at the pavilion and choose to either play basketball, pickleball or beach volleyball. There’s a shaded playground for kids to enjoy too.
Kindergarten through sixth-grade students attend John R. Bonfield Elementary School. They go on to Warwick Middle School. Both have a B- rating from Niche. Students finish their degrees at Warwick Senior High School, which has a B+ rating from Niche and is ranked the 6th-best college prep public high school of 17 in the Lancaster area.
While Rothsville is a small town, you’re never too far from the excitement of the city. Whether for work or a fun day out, you can take a 10-mile drive south to the City of Lancaster. Rothsville shares a mailing address with the Borough of Lititz, which has lots of fun activities as well.

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.
