Lancaster City Living, our local city living advocate and information source, released their Spring/Summer issue of Lancaster City Living Magazine last week.  This magazine is unique in that it brings together many of the great things Lancaster City residents love in one place - the restaurants, galleries, attractions, theatres, neighborhoods and much more.  I like this magazine because it puts the whole city down on paper for my homebuyer clients to study, which helps me immensely when I have to explain the different areas and markets within the city limits.

Lancaster City Living has had an eventful first year under the able leadership of Michael Sprunger.  An offshoot of Tabor Community Services, Lancaster City Living has focused from the beginning on improving the home ownership situation as well as "revving up" the residents by showing them what's right at their fingertips.  The print magazine serves as a guide or handbook for those interested in owning a Lancaster City home.  For a more in-depth profile of Michael click here.

I met with Michael today at his office and we talked about the progress being made in virtually every corner of Lancaster City.  He is excited about developing relationships with developers who want to take renovation of blocks of homes to the next level, restoring them and creating more vibrant communities on those blocks.  Michael pointed out how Mayor Rick Gray is making himself available to residents if each segment of the city via townhall meetings, and how the response has been very positive with residents asking how they can help keep the momentum going in their neighborhoods.  I was once again impressed with Michael's breadth of knowledge on the city (he's lived here for 20 years...and not on the west end) and his desire to see Lancaster City Living succeed.

If you get a chance, check out the new issue of Lancaster City Living magazine!  It's also available online in an interactive version here.  If you are working with me as your realtor, you can have a free copy - just give me a call.  If you are interested in exploring home ownership in Lancaster City, I'd be happy to get you started on your search.  My direct number is 717-799-0851.
