The Musser Park neighborhood is on Lancaster's East side, and is a short walk to parks, area restaurants and downtown entertainment. The park, commissioned in 1949, was named after Lancaster’s umbrella handle tycoon Henry Musser. The park is a local favorite that includes plenty of open space, a children’s play area and the Lancaster Museum of Art. The location is highly walkable to Lancaster’s central market, the convention center, and most downtown area shops and restaurants.

Clean and quaint, and in walking distance from corner stores, barber shops, etc... Forgot your charger, need to get prepared food or groceries; all in walking distance. No closet, but Roku amenities which allow you to login to your streaming service regulars. Limited grass and park space for dogs, however the City parking guidelines were clear and concise.
