"I was hesitant to move to Lancaster six years ago. My boyfriend and I met in college. He is from Lancaster and brought me back over a break. The first place he took me was Lancaster Central Market, and I immediately fell in love with this city. We have friends scattered all over the U.S., and they can’t wait to visit and plan their next adventure here in Lancaster. Now, I feel so fortunate to call Lancaster my home. How lucky are we to live in a city that’s safe, has a close community feel, and convenient to amazing locally owned restaurants, venues, markets, parks…you name it. Lancaster is such a hidden gem!” — Lauren B.
“Growing up in the School District of Lancaster, I was surrounded by international students, and it gives you a good perception of the world—rather than growing up with people who look the same as you. Being mixed races, I enjoy the diversity.” — Azlynn
