York is located in south central Pennsylvania. It is about 15 north of the Maryland line. We are about two hours west of Philadelphia. About 30-35 miles north of Baltimore and about 85 miles north of Wash DC. We are 30 minutes west of Lancaster and about 20 minutes south of Harrisburg (the capital of PA.). Great location. Plenty to do here. There are many markets with local vendors where one can buy freshly grown produce and many food items.

Housing is very affordable. Real estate is much less expensive than the big cities. There is also great history here -- both Revolution War and Civil War. Gettysburg is about 30 minutes west of York. The population is about 72,000.
