Leasing
Applicants need verifiable gross income of at least three times the monthly rent. Every application goes through standard income and identity verification, and income and credit history determine whether the security deposit is $300 or one month’s rent.
Applications are submitted online through the Sorrel Hill application portal. Each adult applicant pays a non-refundable $75 application fee, and a $300 deposit is due with the application and applied toward your first month’s rent. If you’d like to see the apartment first, schedule a tour before applying.

Neighborhood & Location
Downtown Lancaster is a short drive from the community. That puts Lancaster Central Market, Penn Square and the downtown restaurant scene within an easy trip for dinner or a Saturday morning market run.
Millersville University is a short drive away, which makes Sorrel Hill a practical option for faculty, staff and graduate students. Franklin & Marshall College, Thaddeus Stevens College and Lancaster Bible College are also within a reasonable drive.
Yes. There’s a bus stop at the main entrance of the community, served by Red Rose Transit (RRTA). For longer trips, the Lancaster Amtrak station offers Keystone Service east to Philadelphia and New York and west to Harrisburg.
Harrisburg International Airport is the closest major airport, northwest of Lancaster. Philadelphia International is farther east but offers more direct flights. The small Lancaster Airport, north of the city, mainly serves private and general aviation.
Belmont Plaza, near Route 999, covers everyday errands, and The Shoppes at Belmont adds a Whole Foods. For dinner, LUCA, Iron Hill Brewery, John J Jeffries, El Serrano and Cork & Cap are local favorites. Park City Mall and the Rockvale and Tanger outlets handle bigger shopping trips, and Root’s Country Market is a classic Lancaster County stop.

It suits renters who want a quieter, greener setting while staying close to the city. Sorrel Hill sits on acres of open space with a dog park and playground, yet downtown, Millersville and the Route 999 corridor are minutes away. The tradeoff is walkability, since most errands here are easier with a car, though the bus stop at the entrance helps.
