About Dallastown

Dallastown is a quiet suburban community in southeastern York County that consistently attracts buyers looking for one thing above all else: the Dallastown Area School District — one of the highest-rated in all of Pennsylvania. The borough itself is small and walkable, with historic homes near the square and newer construction filling out the surrounding township.

What makes Dallastown special is the combination. You get a true community feel with a downtown that has a pharmacy, pizza shop, bank, and park all within walking distance. I-83 is 5 minutes away, giving you 45-minute access to Baltimore and 30 minutes to York or Harrisburg. Homes hold their value here because the school district creates consistent demand.

School District
