Classic suburbia with presidential history
Named for the Federal-style estate where President James Buchanan spent most of his adult life, Wheatland is a suburban neighborhood just 3 miles outside of downtown Lancaster. This namesake mansion is now a National Historic Landmark, but the rest of Wheatland has forged its own path through a diverse array of home styles and restaurants. Varied housing styles sit along the neighborhood’s residential streets, which straddle Columbia Avenue and its assortment of cuisines. Spacious green parks, the Conestoga Country Club and A-rated public schools give this quiet community a classic suburban appeal.

From colonial styles to a manufactured home community
Home styles throughout Wheatland’s residential areas vary from manufactured homes and townhomes to sizeable contemporary and colonial-influenced properties. In the Pheasant Ridge subdivision, quaint mobile homes can be found from about $50,000 to around $115,000. Sections with townhomes and duplexes offer 1,000- to 1,800-square-foot units with shared driveways and attached garages that range from $235,000 to $270,000.

There are also subdivisions on the north side and to the south near the golf course that are shaded by mature trees, where cottage, Cape Cod and colonial styles sit alongside raised ranch homes and the occasional midcentury modern built, some tucked away from the street with multicar detached garages. Single-family homes in the community can range from 1,000 to 3,500 square feet in size, with price tags between $220,000 and $465,00.

Cuisine variety on Columbia Avenue
Columbia Avenue, also known as Lincoln Highway, holds most of Wheatland’s shopping and dining. A casual go-to for dinner and drinks, Tobias Frogg is a Key West-themed grill with an outdoor patio and bar that puts a tropical flair on cocktails, tacos and burgers. The avenue is also home to an array of culinary flavors, from Indian and Nepalese at Namaste, Szechuan Chinese at Yi Pin and Mexican at El Serrano. Along with small shopping centers, storefronts and fast-food eateries, this main drag has a few grocery options, including Lidl, Giant and Everest Grocery. An even larger selection of boutique shopping and trendy eating can be found around Lancaster Square, just 3 miles east.

Gametime at Greider and Manor Township Community parks
Centrally located in Wheatland, Greider Park offers public green space with walking trails, baseball diamonds and soccer fields. There are also multiple playground areas around the park, outdoor basketball courts and pavilions. South of Greider Park is Manor Township Community Park, where there are similar amenities. "Little Conestoga Creek goes through the park, with bridges that go over the creek,” says Mark Harris, Public Works Director for Manor Township. “The pickleball court and sand volleyball court are very popular and get a lot of use.” Near this park is the Conestoga Country Club, a private club with an 18-hole golf course, an outdoor pool and a pub. “We also have a fabulous rail trail, converted from a former railroad and trestle bridges. It’s a little over 5 and a half miles,” Harris adds. For indoor recreation, Castle Roller Skating on the east side of town entertains roller skaters and arcade gamers inside a castle-themed facade.

First Fridays and Music Fridays in Lancaster
Being a skip from downtown Lancaster means more opportunities for community-wide gatherings and festivals. “We’re a Certified Welcoming city,” says Megan Schmidt with the Lancaster Welcome Center. “There’s a melting pot of culture here in Lancaster City, and we welcome people from all walks of life.” Popular monthly events in this area include First Fridays and Music Fridays, which happen on the third Friday of each month from May through September. “For First Fridays, local stores are open later, and a local market sets up on the streets,” Schmidt says. “And for Music Fridays, whether you’re a band or someone who just wants to sing, you can sign up to perform on any street corner within the city.”

Amish and Quaker roots in Lancaster County
Lancaster is home to the oldest – dating back nearly 300 years ago – and largest – more than 30,000 residents – Amish community in the country. This faith-based culture promotes a simple way of living, so while Lancaster maintains a modern lifestyle with electricity and highways, it’s common to see fresh produce stands set up and horse-and-buggies traveling along the sides of the roads. There is also a large Quaker, also referred to as Friends, community in Lancaster, dating back to the pre-Civil War era. There are five remaining Friends meetinghouses in the county today, one being in Wheatland. In addition to traditional Quaker worship at Friends Meeting House, there are other Christian churches in the area. Tinsae Kristos is an Ethiopian Evangelical Church, Iglesia Casa De Bendicion is a Spanish-speaking church, and Journey of Faith Church is non-denominational.
