Fertility has entertainment and farmland just 4 miles from Lancaster
Tourists and prospective homebuyers flock to Fertility for its numerous attractions, shopping and outdoor recreation while maintaining its agricultural roots. This unincorporated East Lampeter Township community beckons with its serene rural landscape and rich Amish culture. “It's a very popular spot due to its Amish tourism, Dutch Wonderland and various other tourist attractions,” says Realtor Christine Nolt with Kingsway Realty.
Just a short 4-mile drive away, the city of Lancaster is a vibrant hub of art and culture. Here, the country’s oldest Amish settlement thrives and is the backbone of the community, making significant contributions to the area’s agricultural landscape and economy.

Homes can have large lots and country views
Fertility’s bucolic identity is characterized by acres of rolling farmland, cornfields swaying in the breeze and farmers tending to their land — a peaceful respite within the hustle and bustle of modern life. Homes range from sprawling ranch homes with expansive yards to modestly sized Cape Cods and brick Colonials with detached garages and long driveways. Large farmhouses are situated on ample acreage with inviting front porches, while modern traditional-style homes in subdivisions share a uniform ambiance. “The average home price is about $300,000 and people tend to move here due to the access to farmland,” Nolt says.
Intricate Colonial Revivals can be found in subdivisions throughout Fertility.
