East Side is a large neighborhood close to historic downtown York
A large area forming an elbow shape, York, Pennsylvania’s East Side neighborhood is a mix of detached homes, rowhouses and apartments, plus retail and industrial spaces. The western tip of the neighborhood is only a few blocks from York’s historic downtown area. “During the Revolutionary War, the government moved from Philly to York because they wanted to be on the other side of the Susquehanna River,” says Mitzi Heaton, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. The downtown is now home to numerous eateries and city-wide events that East Side residents can easily access. Several parks dot this neighborhood, with the expansive York Memorial Complex a few blocks south. York City schools serve the neighborhood.
Older homes, some renovated, among industrial areas
Older homes are typical here, with a median build year of 1900. Almost half of the area is industrial by square footage, with a mix of houses, townhomes and apartments making up most of the remaining area. Single-family homes needing renovation start at around $60,000, while fully updated homes can cost up to $250,000. Colonial Revival designs, half-stories, and ranches are typical styles here. A few new custom builds on Wellington Street sold for over $500,000. Townhomes and rowhouses can cost between $60,000 and $250,000 depending on size and whether they’ve been recently renovated. Sidewalks run along many streets, and tall trees provide shade in some parts of the neighborhood.
