Only a few blocks from the heart of Downtown Lancaster, Chestnut Hill is a highly walkable area with local treasures like Chestnut Hill Cafe, a homey BYOB cafe with local art, live music, a patio, and Callaloo Trinidadian Kitchen, serving Trinidadian comfort dishes in a relaxed atmosphere.

In mere minutes, residents can also walk to Lancaster Central Market, which is open on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, bringing the best of Lancaster’s local produce, baked goods, meats, and more to its visitors.
A short stroll north of the neighborhood is Beau’s Dream Dog Park in Buchanan Park! The park is free and open to the public all year-round from dawn until dusk.

Dog park rules are available online.
Chestnut Hill is situated within the School District of Lancaster (SDoL), which is a large, urban school district full of socioeconomic and racial diversity. SDoL’s offerings include the award-winning college preparatory International Baccalaureate program at J.P. McCaskey High School.
