Small-town feel with big-city access
Weigelstown, a small suburb of York edged by farms and state parks, has grown by 50 percent over the last 20 years, thanks to a combination of highly rated schools, abundant recreational opportunities and nearby employment opportunities. Warehouses have sprung up north of York along Interstate 83, and manufacturing plants throughout rural York County are within a 20-minute drive. “Amazon and Chewy built warehouses in Lewisberry about 20 minutes north,” says Realtor Mitzi Heaton with Coldwell Banker Realty. “If you’re relocating for work or looking to upgrade or downsize in York County, Weigelstown is a good choice.” About 60 miles from Baltimore and 100 miles from Philadelphia, this community in Dover Township also promises an attractive mix of houses and convenient highway access.
Wide sidewalks and quiet streets are very common in Weigelstown.

Snack food capital of the world
While York lost one of its top employers in 2018 when Bonton, an American department store chain, filed for bankruptcy, York County more than makes up for that loss with manufacturers like Martin’s Potato Chips in Thomasville, 7 miles away, and Utz Quality Foods, Snyder’s of Hanover and Hanover Foods, all located 20 miles away in Hanover. “York County is known as the snack capital of the world,” Heaton says. “You can buy chips and pretzels at all the warehouse stores.” Harley-Davidson also has a manufacturing plant north of York, and York International, makers of refrigeration/HVAC equipment, has a corporate office in York.

Route 74 is the main commercial corridor through Weigelstown, and it connects with U.S. 30 going east. Interstate 83 intersects with 30 at York and takes drivers to Harrisburg, 25 miles north, and Baltimore to the south. “The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has been widening Interstate 83 and putting in new ramps to accommodate all the new warehouses along the highway,” Heaton says. The $300 million project will widen I-83 from four to eight lanes.
Rabbit Transit, the York bus system, serves Weigelstown with the line’s Route 13, which carries passengers to and from the western edge of Dover Township. “Rabbit Transit will also take you to Harrisburg and into York,” Heaton says, “but it is a local resource. Weigelstown is more of a car-dependent place.” The closest Amtrak stations are in Harrisburg and Lancaster, and the nearest airport is Harrisburg International Airport, a 30-mile drive north.
UPMC Memorial, the closest hospital, is 4 miles from Weigelstown. The 104-bed medical center features all private rooms, an emergency department, surgical services, and cardiovascular care and treatment. The facility was opened in August 2019.
