Ephrata homes are cozy, affordable, and full of character. Residents can choose to live in town or in the rolling country, taking their pick of single-family homes in the mostly $100,000 to $400,000 range.

Many of Ephrata’s homes and buildings are preserved on the National Register of Historic Places, and its countryside is dotted with picturesque covered bridges.

The Ephrata Cloister, originally a religious community that sprang up when the town was founded, now serves as a community center that holds several public events each year. The Ephrata Community Pool is the oldest continuously operating pool in Lancaster County, with new flume slides and climbing walls that were installed in 2012.
