Rentals, rowhouses and renovations
While four out of five residents here rent, and rowhouses are the dominant design, some single-family detached homes featuring Second Empire designs can range from about $120,000 to $160,000. Rowhouses and partially detached homes can start around $66,000 for properties that need repairs and run up to about $210,000 for those that have been recently remodeled. The median build year for homes in Northeast York is 1900, so many of these properties are old. The neighborhood holds a CAP Index Crime Score of 6, higher than the national average of 4. Areas with rowhouses can be short on trees, with foliage more prominent behind properties. Sidewalks line many streets.

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.
