Country living along the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County
In the small community of Peach Bottom, relics of a 19th-century railroad contour the Susquehanna River. A part of Lancaster County, Peach Bottom is home to less than 900 households and is primarily residential. Along with the black cherry trees that turn a vibrant yellow come fall, modest 1980s-era split-level homes and 19th-century farmhouses dot the rural landscape. For all the everyday essentials, residents head to neighboring communities like The Buck or downtown Quaryville. “There’s a very heavy Amish influence here,” says Katie Hall, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway and a Lancaster County local. Peach Bottom is the type of place where cars slow down for horse-drawn buggies and residents can count on fresh produce and whoopie pies year-round – there’s usually a familiar face or two at Eldora Farm Market. Perfect for raising chickens and livestock, this Lancaster County neighborhood is an escape from city life and a present-day reminder of decades past.
Ranch-styles and historic farmhouses on multi-acre lots
The average sale price in Peach Bottom hovers around $350,000, but prospective buyers will also find options ranging from the low $100,000s to upwards of $500,000. Housing styles here range from smaller manufactured homes, like those in Jubilee Park, to two-bedroom split-levels and ranch-styles; to the occasional 19th-century farmhouse tucked away amidst fields of yellow corn.
This split-level home is the perfect solution for many of Peach Bottom's hilly streets.

Scenic overlooks and hiking trails in Susquehannock State Park
With its 380-foot scenic overlooks and sweeping views of the Susquehanna River, Susquehannock State Park is a Peach Bottom gem. Look through a pair of binoculars from atop Hawk Point to spot the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, admire the Conowingo Reservoir or maybe even catch an eagle gliding along in the wind. Come fall, plan to lace up those hiking boots to enjoy the bright red, yellow and orange foliage, which draws locals and visitors alike each autumn. In the wintertime, bundle up and sneak views of the icy Susquehanna River from behind the branches of the black cherry trees.
Just 3 miles from Susquehannock’s trails, Drumore Park’s pavilions are a go-to spot for lively family reunions during summer months, and residents also enjoy the park’s baseball field and relaxing beneath centuries-old oak trees.
