New Oxford is a compact, friendly borough on the historic Lincoln Highway with a walkable main street, a lively antiques scene and nearby farms, parks and breweries—great for a travel therapist wanting interesting evenings and easy short drives after a long shift.
You’ll be about 10 miles from Gettysburg for history, museums and seasonal events, roughly 20 miles from York for bigger-city dining, shopping and health systems, and around an hour’s drive to Baltimore when you want major-airport access and nightlife, so you won’t feel isolated during multi-week contracts.
