Suburban Neighborhood in East Petersburg, Pennsylvania

Kissel Hill has adapted into a centralized place to convene where residents take pride in shopping locally and spending time outdoors. Established in 1762 and named after Nicolaus Kissel, this unincorporated community village briefly adopted the name of New Haven in the mid-19th century.
Kissel Hill is a distinctive community in Lancaster County, conveniently situated just south of Lititz. Positioned strategically, Kissel Hill ensures easy access to essential services such as UPMC Lititz for prompt healthcare and Lancaster Airport for travel needs. A mere 6 miles south lies Downtown Lancaster, a cultural hub for culinary, artistic and retail opportunities.
This community integrates suburban comforts with rural landscapes; within its charm, farms and industrial sites occupy significant portions of land. Notably, the Kissel Hill Fruit Farm Orchard & Market is where locals come for juicy peaches, crisp apples and smoked barbeque. Complimenting this rustic ambiance, Kissel Hill’s suburban neighborhoods offer various housing options. Whether you seek the elegance of a country club estate with golf course views or modern homes with farmhouse influences, there is something for everyone. Central features include elevated patios, attached garages, spacious windows and stone masonry. The median home price of $449,000 covers a spectrum spanning from newly constructed four-bedrooms to expansive six-bedroom properties with ample acreage.
Depending on where they live, Kissel Hill’s youngest residents may be a part of the Manheim Township School District, the #1 school district in the county. Or they may receive education from Warwick School District, boasting an A score in teacher and college prep categories, according to Niche.
