Lancaster County offers residents access to a quiet rural existence and the amenities of city life that come with being one of the fastest growing regions in the nation.

One of the Fastest Growing Regions in the U.S.
Residents of Lancaster County get to experience the best of both worlds in their own backyard. True, the region is best known for its rolling farmland and agricultural production, but it is also one of the fastest growing regions in the United States and has been recognized as such by U.S. News & World Report. Over the past few years, Lancaster County has enjoyed a consistent rate of growth that is carefully controlled to preserve the area's precious farmland.

Strong Economy
Inc. Magazine recognized Lancaster as one of the top 25 cities in the nation for entrepreneurial development. What's more, the county has historically enjoyed the lowest unemployment rate in the state.

Abundance of Cultural Amenities
There is more to life than work, and Lancaster offers plenty of cultural opportunities to its residents, including a wide variety of productions and events at the nationally known Fulton Opera House, the Lancaster Symphony, and the Lancaster Opera Company. In addition, residents can also find plenty of opportunity for fun in the 2,300 acres of public parks located within the county or can attend an independent league baseball game by the Lancaster Barnstormers.

Close Proximity to Major Northeast Cities
If you find yourself desiring a taste of the city, major metropolitan areas such as Philadelphia and Baltimore are just a short drive away, and – no matter where you live within the county – you'll never be more than 30 minutes away from the heart of downtown Lancaster, Penn Square.
