Great video, Matt. Keep up the good work and content! Been living in Lanco since '98. I'm in sales and for the past 12 years have covered Philly to Memphis down to Savannah, GA. Lots of great cities in that region but what Lancaster has to offer is the best of all those good cities. (pre-Covid analysis here). Lancaster has the food and booze of Charlotte, the music talent-live music of Nashville, heritage, and history-tourism like SE Virginia. As much as I romanticize about moving to another city more central to my territory, I love the variety Lancaster offers with outdoor life, cost of living, travel, food/booze, and entertainment. Those spitting venom in this comment section are ones who barely if at all, travel out of the area in order to grow an openness and appreciation for what Lancaster County has to offer. All the best!

Wow, Matt! I just discovered your channel and have enjoyed hearing you list so many of the wonderful things to be found in Lancaster. My family and friends have been going to Sight and Sound for many years; it is truly inspirational! Another family favorite in Lancaster is Dutch Wonderland. Been awhile now since we were there, but it was a real treat for the kids, even the little ones. One more thing we enjoy there are the amazing crafts.... unbelievable! Sigh. Just watching your video has made me want to visit Lancaster (Lank' a stir! Lol) again real soon. Thanks, Matt, and God bless!

Matt, my parents lived in Landis Farms just north of the city from 1960-66. They then moved to northern DE for a much better job in 1966 and that's where I grew up. But both their parents are from the area (Mom-Millersville, Dad-Reading, Grad of F&M) and we came back often. Really like your videos and glad to see that Lancaster is generally prospering and is now more cosmopolitan in the 2020's. There is a lot of good there, especially in the outdoor rec area, as you cover. I push back on one minor area on your assessment of a moderate cost of living argument. I live in metro Boston. Of course the cost of housing is high. But wages are correspondingly high. Almost everything else is at a nationwide price. We all basically pay the same for gas, consumer goods, utilities and travel across the whole country and world. So I would argue that though I pay a lot for my house, I earn more here and most of my other costs are the same - and I have a lot more funds for them. Just food for thought. I think Lancaster and metro Boston actually have a far amount in common, much more than somewhere in the south or west.

Thanks for the great video! We are just starting to reconsider moving from Cali. I have a buddy that just moved there and is singing it’s praises.

No it hasn't. You sound like a tourist because if you knew anything about this city you'd realize to rent an apartment is upwards of $1,000 and owning a home would be more expensive. You're forgetting to mention that we have scummy landlords selling underwhelming houses and apartments. Any piece of real estate you find for a decent price is going to have something wrong with it. As for entertainment, no one wants to go to a theatre every night. We are a tourist trap where people get sucked in because we have a couple malls and food places downtown. What they fail to realize is it gets old and boring

I live Lancaster County Pennsylvania born and raised

Just wanted to drop a few cents in: Im originally from NJ area, and have lived in California for nearly 40 years. Everything, .... everything is relative. Those complaining about higher taxes .... yes they are high .... but relative to? In California we are taxed through the nose and trust me, the quality of life, quaint colonial towns, 4 seasons, great medical access of what I see in these videos..... is light years ahead of what my county, Monterey County; offers. For me, its an upgrade of lifestyle and comfort and more bang for my buck, -or amenities for my taxes-, however you wish to look at it. Things are a matter of degrees and compromise. If I can't find what i want at 200k in my desired part of Lancaster, then i will take a few steps in the outer towns and compromise. As long as i have the access to the area, to me that is just as good. Everything is a risk-reward matrix. Lastly, I appreciate Matt's videos. We went from being completely lost in our search in 4 states, to zeroing in here, which is a sweet spot of location, proximity to family and infrastructure.

I’ve always pronounced Lancaster wrong lol. Grew up there. But New York City is 3.5-4 hours away depending on traffic. Never less than 3.

I Loved This Area. These Days I'm In Another State. But With All Of The Restrictions And Health Issues All Over The Country I Do Have To Feel Caution On Travel. I Did Enjoy Central Market And The Parks And The Towns In The County.

I lived in rural Lancaster for five years in a small mostly Amish and Mennonite village. There were many positive things about my time there but the deal breaker was the oppressive humidity. In the summer it was like being drugged it was so humid. I'd take a shower in the morning and I swear I never dried off all day long. As a result mildew and fungus grew on everything. And most of my neighbors made less than $15 per hour. I now live on a mountain is Colorado. I much prefer the sunshine, warm dry climate, and the economy is much better although housing prices are high right now.

Hi Carlos, I mean there is crime just like any city has, but certainly no more than the average. In fact, it’s fairly quiet outside of some isolated incidences. Nice city! The county as a whole is pretty quiet. Hope that helps!

I am thinking about moving there

I plan to transfer to Millersville University from Northampton Community College. As I seen Sight and Sounds Theatre and Shadey Maple. As to say I wonder what would be a good housing option for a college student and worker as what would be helpful. As to say this is an hour from Carsile as that is my step mom’s house is which I may live for a while until I can get a suitable place. Anyway please let me know.

I moved from Reading to Lancaster 2 years ago, I don’t regret my decision. Lititz is the best small town in America tho!!

Is the real estate inventory low due to mortgage rates now?

@LancasterLiving

Жыл бұрын

It has been low for several years…builders underbuilding, lots of demand for housing, millennial buyers making their pushes to buy their first homes, etc. Then interest rates went up and the people who locked in over the last couple years are disincentivized from selling their houses unless they absolutely have to. Bit of a vicious cycle!

I've been visiting the area for about 18 years. Love Sight and Sound and the slower pace of the Amish. I'm looking for my retirement place in 5 years. I look on Zillow and Lancaster is very much out of our price range. What Gems can you get me? I am looking for half acre I can raise my own food. Maybe some chickens and a pond?. Maybe you can talk an Amish family into renting me 3 acres for 10 year lease with the understanding I'd run electric to my area. How is the internet there?

I'm good just needed to see if he said it right

What you need to know -- every third person around here drives about 15 mph under the speed limit and is terrified of green lights. Allow 20 extra minutes to get to anything because the roads were built for traffic circa 1956.

Welcome to the area! A little advice: if searching for apartments, use Zillow Rentals page! Honestly, I don't see many rental options in the MLS system, but many people who are listing their apartments or homes for rent are putting it on Zillow first.
