Springdale, located between East Market Street and the York Suburban School District campus area, is a residential and civic York neighborhood with mid-century streetscapes and pocket green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the East Market Street corridor near the York Suburban High School area, where school-day energy meets small, locally run storefronts and everyday errands. Housing leans toward postwar ranches and split-levels with tidy setbacks, plus a few older brick homes closer to Market. Springettsbury Township Park and nearby ballfields shape an outdoors-forward routine. For culture and a night-out anchor, The Appell Center for the Performing Arts and Collusion Tap Works connect Springdale to downtown York’s creative circuit. Grocery runs and local staples often point toward Central Market York for a classic city ritual.

Single-Family Detached Residential Conservation District
In the City, there are several distinctive residential neighborhoods which contribute significantly to the overall character and identity of the City. These neighborhoods predominantly consist of single-family detached residences that are worthy of preservation and protection, but some lack sufficient historical, architectural or cultural significance at the present time for designation within a Historic District Overlay or HARB Overlay. The RS1 Districts are established in areas where single-family residential development has already occurred and in logical extensions to these areas. The district aims to preserve, protect, enhance and perpetuate the value of these low density residential neighborhoods through the following neighborhood conservation principles: NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER - Protect and strengthen desirable and unique physical features, design characteristics, and recognized identity and neighborhood character.; REVITALIZATION - Promote and provide for neighborhood revitalization guided by design and property maintenance standards specific to unique districts to ensure harmonious, orderly and efficient redevelopment of the City.; LIVABILITY - Protect and enhance livability of the City by providing predominately for single-family detached residences.; NONCONFORMITIES AND BLIGHT - Reduce conflict and prevent blighting caused by incompatible and insensitive development, redevelopment or infill development and poor property maintenance.; PROPERTY VALUES - Stabilize property values.
