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. “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.
Ranch homes are abundant in Fertility, and many feature small front porches.

Split between two public school districts, private faith-based options
Fertility is split between the Lampeter-Strasburg School District, which Niche gives an A-minus, and the Conestoga Valley School District, which has a B-plus. Children in Lampeter-Strasburg schools attend Lampeter Elementary School from kindergarten through second grade and Hans Herr Elementary School from third through fifth grade. Both schools earn A-minus ratings. They then move on to Martin Meylin Middle School, which has an A, and Lampeter-Strasburg High School, which has an A-minus and is ranked the second best public high school in the Lancaster area. Alternatively, students may apply to Lancaster Mennonite School, a private preschool through 12th-grade faith-based institution. The school is well-regarded for its STEAM-based curriculum and is rated #4 in private schools in the area with an overall score of an A, according to Niche.
