About Mountville

Mountville is a quiet, close-knit borough in Lancaster County, tucked conveniently along Route 30 between Lancaster city and the Susquehanna River town of Columbia. Home to around 3,000 residents, it offers a peaceful small-town setting with tree-lined residential streets and a relaxed pace. It also holds a fun spot in snack history as the original home of Charles Chips, though today the community is best known as a comfortable and accessible place to settle down.

Families are drawn here partly for the well-regarded Hempfield School District, with Mountville Elementary located right in the heart of town. Despite its compact footprint, the borough offers plenty of outdoor recreation, from neighborhood playgrounds and the local community pool to scenic walking trails around nearby Grubb Lake. With downtown Lancaster just a short drive away for shopping, dining, and healthcare jobs, Mountville makes it easy to enjoy quiet neighborhood living without giving up everyday conveniences.
