Love your videos, Matt! Born and raised here and honestly disappointed with so many people moving here. Traffic is heavier, but even worse is that the Newbies can’t seem to navigate buggies safely. Please do a video of tips for them. Folks, leave yourself extra time to get anywhere. Do not pass a buggy from way back behind a line of cars! Have a full line of sight, and do not cut the horse off. They are traffic sound but can still panic. I’ve seen runaway buggies in my life and it’s not good. Do Not Speed Thru Strasburg. Those cops ticket. I see it daily, plus with all the red light running (also daily) I’m wondering what is wrong with people anymore. Leave your crappy driving and bad habits back wherever you’re moving from.

Turns out it wasn't , but I am glad I had the experience but I missed living in an area of all four seasons with autumn being my favorite season and came to the conclusion that I cannot live some where with out an autumn season, I lived in Tampa, I really did love living there and experiencing the sub tropical life but it wasn't for me so I ended up in Michigan (long story LOL) but now will be moving back to Lancaster

I lived in Lancaster (Manheim Township) for 10 years. I love it very much but it started growing more than I wanted (my area at least) So many new apartments, homes and strip malls and with that came more people, traffic and higher rent. I left NYC to get away from all that. We ended up buying a house in a remote area in the mountains which is what we like but we go visit on occasion the Amish area to get a bite to eat. That’s always fun.

Thanks for the kind words! I’d just recommend looking at the tax data on any property you see on Zillow, etc. That tax number is all 3 taxes (local, county, and school) combined.

I love Lancaster County! It is my home town (city)! I have lived in Lancaster City, Manheim Township, East Hempfield Township, Marietta and Denver. I loved living in each of those areas! None of the things you mentioned would deter me from living in Lancaster. I am currently living in Michigan (Metro Detroit) I love it here too in Michigan and I love the lake life and all the amazing and stunning nature Michigan offers! I feel honored living here and fortunate but I have decided to move back home (Lancaster) the only down side of living in Michigan for me is living 40 minutes from 2 of the worst and high crime cities in the country (Detroit and Flint) . And as much as their is country side here to live too in the state of Michigan it is all isolated, I mean there are areas that getting to a grocery store is a 30 mile drive, it clearly works for some but not for me! I have seen Lancaster area growing and I love seeing what the area offers. I am a retired person so all the conveniences I need and the lifestyle , it's all there in Lancaster. I love outdoor recreation and Michigan offers that abundantly, but I have grown up in Lancaster and there is plenty of outdoor there too, I recently visited Lancaster over the Christmas Holiday and found out about the North West Trail up in Marietta, I was super stoked by that trail, I mean completely blown away! I love that trail and the Warwick to Ephrata trail , I love Lancaster Central park, Long's Park and some of the smaller community parks in the area. Also lots of state parks in region there (Reading, York, Harrisburg) I specifically love Nolde Forest State Park! I will be moving back to Lancaster area " I'm coming home"!! It will probably be 2 to 3 years but i look forward to it! But there's also lot's of positives of living in Lancaster area! First Friday's! Dining has grown and lots of options (ethnic , vegan , vegetarian and so much more) Lancaster City itself is a biking city, most city roads have the bike lanes. Yes traffic has gotten a bit hectic but as you said, plenty of back road options to get around plus those back roads are so scenic and very quaint! So any place we go and live there will always be pros and cons , I have learned that, but I never thought I would actually be home sick and so I will be moving back! Oh and Overlook Park on Lititz Pike! That park is amazing and that golf course, for those of you who love to golf! Check it out, it is pristine! I'm glad I found and came across this Lancaster channel! HOME-SWEET-HOME!

Be careful comparing PA summers to Florida's. I lived in Twp for 20 years, then Warwick for another 20 before moving to Melbourne, FL. The highest dewpoint I ever experienced in PA was probably 78. As I write this, the DP here is 79. I'd never experienced a DP in PA of 80, much less the 85 it gets to here occasionally. I understand the temptation to compare Lancaster humidity to Florida's, because your summertime DPs can rival the typical summer DPs here. However, as we know, 'normal' or 'average' weather are just like speed limits: suggestions. Just as it's not 88°/68° every single day in July there, there are many times here the DP is way above normal. This happens when one is surrounded on three sides by ocean waters in the 90s and 100s (!) toward late summer. In PA, we consider a DP of 65 to be sticky, 70 to be muggy, and 75 to be downright oppressive. Here, 70 is totally comfortable even without a breeze, and 75 isn't that bad with the typical breezes that comes with the sea breeze and storm outflow boundaries. But make no mistake; you haven't seen humid until you've been outside with an 85° dewpoint, when condensation appears on the exterior of the windows on your 78° AC'ed home (enough that it drips and runs), where stepping INTO a sauna to cool off sounds like a superb idea. BTW, the all-time record high DP in Melbourne, FL is 90°.

I grew up in Lancaster County (1943-1965) and then moved back (2001-2009) where I served as a County Social Worker. Lancaster City has all sorts of social problems and is not highly regarded as a place to live (outlying communities like Manheim Township, etc. have a better reputation). I learned more about the city and county as a social worker than I did growing up. Three suggestions for would-be city residents: (1) accept the Latino culture and conservative religious influences; (2) enjoy things like Central Market, rides in the country and don't get turned off by the Amish tourist traps, but (3) most of all, you'll never find better health care than you will at Lancaster General Hospital's facilities (assuming you have good health insurance).

Lancaster city and surrounding areas are nice if you don't mind drug addicts everywhere. It's close to Philli and Allentown which people use to get their supplies. Just a heads up

I don't think that the bums hang out too much in the city suburbs. Probably cause even the bums won't hang out near the stench of the water treatment plant.

I was born and raised in Lancaster. If you are thinking and losing to Lancaster Pennsylvania don't do it. You walk downtown to see this historic landmarks. Including the oldest market in the United States. You can never really enjoy downtown because it's so full of drugs. You got to be afraid of being robbed or jumped.

I too grew up here and it sounds like they’re thinking of the city a long time ago. The city is so much different from when I was a kid and it was very much like what this person described years ago. I’ll give you a point of reference. My dad was looking for a house when my parents split up. The building that is now Annie Bailey’s was for sale. It’s absolutely huge and it’s right in the center of town. They were asking $150,000 for it. It wasn’t in bad shape it’s just the city was a dump for the most part. He ended up renting a place right on Musser Park. A really nice 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath place with parking and everything, for $700 a month. Crazy.

Sorry but this is a ridiculous video. If you are coming from NY or NJ your taxes will be much lower. The "smell" is absolutely a non-issue. We smell it briefly maybe twice a year. As far as the weather we have lived here for over 25 years and have had no more than 3 or 4 big snow storms and heat in the summer? It's summer; it is SUPPOSED to be hot. As far as sports teams why is this even an issue? You can take your family to the Barnstormers for a very reasonable price and it's very easy to get in and out of the stadium. If you are a hockey fan, Hershey has a hockey team that's also easily accessible. Lancaster city has museums and a fabulous theatre with high quality shows as well as many other venues in the area.Housing prices have risen because it's such a great place to live. The only thing I would agree with in this video is the traffic but there are lots of back roads to avoid it.

We need less people here, too much farm/Land in general is being wiped away for the housing market, way too much construction, prices of everything are getting ridiculous. Talk to any Amish men, more and more of them are selling their land to companies to put in housing. My house in lampeter used to be surrounded by beautiful farm land, now all of it is wiped away with new construction homes being built going for $600k+ Lancasters quality has significantly dropped the last 20 years. That is starting to happen with strasburg, and will certainly happen to quarryville
