Downtown York is home to several events
The Yorkfest Fine Arts Festival comes to town the last weekend in August, while Mother’s Day brings the Olde York Street Fair, a large collection of food, art and craft vendors. Downtown York comes alive on First Fridays each month, as businesses of all kinds offer special promotions, hold events, and book live music.Major highways and bus routes connect the community
York’s historic downtown area is no more than 2 miles from the neighborhood. U.S. Route 30 and Interstate 83 are two of York’s primary connections to surrounding areas. The former runs across York’s north side, while the latter is accessible 4 blocks east of the neighborhood from Elmwood Boulevard. Bus lines run along roads like South Queen Street and East Prospect Street. Harrisburg International Airport is about 32 miles north. WellSpan York Hospital is about 3 miles away.Nearby dining choices and several grocery options
Nearby restaurants include Pho Bistro, Victor’s Italian, Joe’s Pizza and Belmont Bean, a coffee shop. Big box stores and chains are available on U.S. Route 30, north of the neighborhood. Downtown York is home to more eateries, such as White Rose Bar & Grill and Hamir’s Indian Fusion. Heaton also recommends Eagle’s Nest, which serves American fare east of the neighborhood. “Eagle’s Nest has great views of the city from its rooftop,” Heaton says. Downtown’s Central Market covers a city block and houses numerous vendors and eateries during its market days. For groceries, residents can head to one of several corner stores in the neighborhood, the Save A Lot a block south of the neighborhood or the C Town Supermarket near downtown, about 2 miles from the farthest part of the neighborhood.

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.
