Homes and buildings in Gettysburg

About 86% of homes in Gettysburg were built before 1980, and the typical home dates from 1942. Buildings that age often still have older single-pane glass and worn aluminum frames, so loose panes, failing seals and tired door hardware come up a lot. More homes here went up before 1940 than in any other period. That makes its housing older than about 77% of Pennsylvania towns its size.

Housing is a mix, with about 49% single-family houses and 20% in apartment buildings. More than half of the homes here are rented, so we also work with landlords and property managers.
