Living in York, PA

Affectionately known to locals as White Rose City (after England’s House for York family), York, PA, has plenty to offer renters looking for an affordable alternative to Philadelphia. Nestled amidst the pastoral beauty of central Pennsylvania, York provides renters with a bustling dining and nightlife scene, while also featuring a flourishing art community. In fact, York has already enjoyed many lives dating back to colonial times (it was even briefly the capital of the United States) with many restored historic buildings standing as witnesses. The cost of living in York is another reason why renters may want to consider York as their next home as it’s well below the state and national average. However, renters with young children need to be aware that the quality of the public school districts varies widely. While some are well-rated, others are below average. Therefore, if you have school-aged children, make sure to pick an apartment with the best local schools.
