Mcsherrystown, PA Townhome for Sale

McSherrystown, a small borough west of Hanover, exemplifies small-town Pennsylvania with its old-fashioned Main Street and active community groups. The neighborhood features quieter community parks, locally owned restaurants, and occasional concerts at the Moose Lodge. McSherrystown serves as a bedroom community for south central PA hubs like Gettysburg, with Hanover, known as the “Snack Food Capital of the World,” just across the county line. The borough's sidewalk-lined blocks form a grid of single-family homes, including classic prewar styles like American Foursquares, farmhouses, and National-style homes, as well as midcentury Cape Cods and ranch-style homes. McSherrystown is evenly split between renters and homeowners, with some larger apartment complexes scattered throughout. Many residents commute to nearby manufacturing hubs or super commute to Maryland. UPMC Hanover hospital is less than 2 miles away, while Gettysburg is over 10 miles away.
