Veterans Memorial Park
Classic styles and row houses in a fast-moving market
This area is made up of a range of housing styles, with rowhouses, rentals and commercial pockets in some areas and detached homes in others. Rowhouses can cost from about $110,000 to $200,000. East of Pine Street and south of Irving Road, the neighborhood gets a bit more of a secluded, suburban feel, with denser trees and larger lawns. Colonial designs, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes are standard here. Single-family homes range in price from $160,000 to about $290,000. Homes sell quickly here, with listings spending an average of 18 days on the market, which means this area moves more than twice as fast as the national average.

Just south of the park, at Penn State York, is the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center, where residents can take in concerts, theater or ballet. North of the neighborhood, in the historic downtown, folks can explore the Gates’ House, the York County History Center and more. There’s also a walking trail. “The Heritage Rail Trail goes through York City,” Heaton says. “You can walk and bike on it forever.”
