Preserved industrial age architecture in The Avenues, just outside downtown York
The Avenues was laid out to the northwest of York’s city center in the late 19th century, and the charming, preserved architecture of the county seat’s industrial age still defines the neighborhood today. “The Avenues is the cream of the crop when it comes to York City – it's a little more suburban without being suburban, kind of split between city rowhomes and suburban white picket fences,” says Nathan Barshinger, an agent with eXp Realty who specializes in York County. “The architecture is nice, things are a little more spaced apart, and you’re near some different shopping outlets.” Beyond showcasing the creativity of developers in the industrial age, The Avenues is also a quiet, residential hub packed between the city’s northern destination parks and southern stretch of one of the most important event spaces in York County.
Walkable blocks lined by attached and detached turn of the century homes
The most striking late 19th and early 20th century homes in The Avenues fill corner and double lots with the wrap around porches and towers of Queen Annes. Plenty of simpler styles fill the neighborhood as well, especially boxy designs like American Foursquares and bungalows. Twin homes and row homes populate many streets with attached homes in similar Victorian and bare-bones architectural styles. Simple minimal traditional homes filled in lots through the midcentury. Prices usually range from around $100,000 to $300,000, though fixer uppers can go for less. Sidewalks run throughout the neighborhood, past blocks where neighbors enjoy pocket-sized front lawns shaded by mature trees and others where rowhomes sit at the edge of the concrete. Many residents rent rather than own, both in converted multi-family dwellings and larger complexes on the outskirts of The Avenues.

Shopping and dining on Carlisle Road
A limited commercial area branches near Roosevelt Avenue, but for shopping beyond what’s available at the Family Dollar, locals are likely to head out of The Avenues to strip malls along Carlisle Road. About a mile from home, names like GIANT, T.J. Maxx and Lowe’s take up anchor footprints. Many nearby restaurants are national chains like Chili’s and Bob Evans, but others serve locally focused menus; while Marco’s Pizza & Sweet Shack is known for their Italian fare, they make it a point to serve Hershey’s brand ice cream in a show of central PA loyalty. York’s walkable small business district fills the blocks around York Central Market within 2 miles of home.
Marco’s Pizza has been a local staple for years in The Avenues and is known for its Italian fare.

The York State Fair and other events at the York Expo Center
Permanent street names like Cattle Drive and Livestock Road recall the big event that takes over the York Expo Center for more than a week each summer. The York State Fair has attracted visitors to some kinds of agricultural markets and shows for longer than the United States has been a country, but plenty of modern fairgoers come for the live music, carnival rides and fried foods. “The York State Fair is the biggest thing that happens, but there’s also the June hot rod show when all the muscle cars come in and more rural activities like gun shows, knife shows and tractor expos,” Barshinger notes.
The Avenues is home to the York Fairgrounds, home to numerous events including the famous York State Fair,
The RV show at the West York Expo Center is an exciting event for travel enthusiasts.

Nearby green spaces at northern York parks
Though The Avenues is not home to any public parks, a row of recreation hubs are a handful of blocks to its northeast. Rolling hills transition from pockets of well-kept athletic courts to tree-shaded stretches of walking paths and picnic pavilions at Farquhar Park. Nearby, locals might watch the ducks swim at Kiwanis Lake or get in the water themselves at the indoor and outdoor pools of the Graham Aquatic Center. James E. (Jim) Gross Park makes up the western end of this green strip, punctuating the row of baseball diamonds at Noonan Fields with some creekside playgrounds.
Farquhar Park is an expansive 20.5-acre park that offers a serene ambiance with its woods and walking path.
Swimmers of The Avenues can head to the nearby Graham Aquatic Center for its indoor and outdoor pools.

Commuting around York City or on U.S. Route 30 and I-83
Commuters are close to the county seat hubs of York City, with downtown just a couple of miles away. Sidewalks make The Avenues walkable to downtown, though many make use of personal vehicles or rabbittransit buses that stop on streets framing the neighborhood to get around. U.S. Route 30 and Interstate 83 intersect a couple of miles to the northeast, leading to more distant commuter hubs like Harrisburg and Lancaster. The Avenues is within 3 miles of both UPMC Memorial Hospital and WellSpan York Hospital. Harrisburg International Airport is about 30 miles from home.
Industrial noise on the outskirts of The Avenues
While The Avenues is almost strictly residential, industrial areas make up some of its borders. Those living towards the east side might hear trains passing through or see an influx of truck traffic thanks to nearby warehouses. The Roosevelt Quarry sprawls behind a cove of trees to the northwest; residents might notice a slight rumbling underfoot when stone is being blasted with explosives.
