New Danville has a small-town feel with easy drives to close amenities

The quintessential one-stoplight town, New Danville and communities like it inhabit the minds of those who dream of living in pastoral bliss, surrounded by farms, temperate forests and rolling hills. With its lovely landscapes and various home styles, you can find a place to live and adore in New Danville. “There’s only a few businesses, a tiny strip mall and a fire company,” says Jesse Hersh, a local Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services who grew up in neighboring Millersville. “It’s mostly rural farmland.” Though nestled deep in the Lancaster County countryside, New Danville’s residents can easily reach downtown Lancaster and neighboring localities with larger suburban shopping centers, making New Danville a beautiful and convenient place to live.

Diverse home designs built over the past 100 years

Homes prices in the community generally range between $200,000 and $400,000. You won’t find a uniform home style here, as most properties are custom builds from various periods over the last century, reflecting farmhouse, ranch, split-level and twin duplex styles with the use of exterior features like red brick, wood shiplap and vinyl.

Students attend top-rated schools in the Penn Manor district

The highly rated Penn Manor School district encompasses the neighborhood, so students generally attend Conestoga Elementary and Pequea Elementary, Marticville Middle School and Penn Manor High School. Niche ranks the school district as the fourth best in the Lancaster Area and gives it an A-minus with high marks for academic success, teacher quality, and student readiness for college.

Local stores reflect the area’s blend of cultures and traditions

At the center of the community, the Turkey Hill Mini Mart provides a place for people to get snacks, drinks, grab-and-go meals and other essentials. On the shelves in Eagle Foods, you’ll find Hispanic Goya products alongside packages of Quaker Oats, demonstrating how new cultures meld with the area’s European and Pennsylvania Dutch roots. Throughout the week, patrons visit Eagle Foods to pick up groceries and order fresh meats after checking prices on a dry-erase whiteboard listing cuts and offers in Spanish and English.

Small-town amenities with easy access to nearby entertainment

The few other vendors in town specialize in fresh produce. Open seasonally from July to early December, The Corn Wagon is an outdoor farmers market on a small gravel lot with some of the freshest vegetables and fruits around. On the other side of town to the south, past the New Danville Fire Company, Cherry Hill Orchards lets visitors explore the grounds to pick baskets of cherries, blackberries, apples and peaches. The site also includes a market and garden center where you can buy flowers, jams, fruit pies, cheeses and farm-fresh eggs. While the picking season is only in the summer, you can return to the garden center around the holidays to bring home a Christmas tree. Beyond New Danville’s loosely defined boundaries, residents can drive out to the movie theater in the Kendig Square shopping center about two miles away in the Willow Street community or dine at a local family-owned restaurant in the nearby college town of Millersville.

GreatSchools: 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.
