Selling Your Home in Blue Ball, PA
Blue Ball sits at the crossroads of Route 23 and Route 322 in East Earl Township, eastern Lancaster County — about 16 miles northeast of Lancaster and 8 miles from Ephrata. The village takes its name from an 18th-century inn that hung a blue ball out front to welcome travelers, and a replica of that sign keeps the story alive.
A crossroads village with deep roots
Blue Ball is small, but it’s a hub for the eastern end of the county. Kids start at Blue Ball Elementary in the Eastern Lancaster County School District and move on to Garden Spot High School in New Holland. Around the village, East Earl Township stretches south toward Welsh Mountain, dotted with historic farmsteads and the Weaverland Mennonite Meetinghouse along Route 322.
Who’s buying here
A little over 1,000 people live in the village, and it skews young — the median age is in the early 30s, with about 2.6 people per household. The surrounding township is home to roughly 6,700 residents; about one in five are under 18 and nearly three in four homes are owner-occupied. Buyers here tend to be young families looking for room to grow, commuters who like the easy run to Lancaster or Ephrata, and nearby Mennonite families looking for land, barns and shop space.
