Nice suburbs near Harrisburg
DH & I are going to be working in Harrisburg in a couple of months and would like to live near by. We have been told to look at suburbs outside of the city limits. Does anyone have any suggestions?
thanks!
Re: Nice suburbs near Harrisburg
Mechanicsburg or Camp Hill would be my choices. I'm a bigger fan of the "west shore" area which is west of the Susquehanna River. Plus Mechanicsburg has Wegmans - the best supermarket in the world (IMO).
I live south of the area but work up there.
Mechanicsburg and Camp Hill are good areas.
Some areas of Colonial Park arent bad and Hershey really isnt that far from Harrisburg.
As far as the "East vs West" debate. Some people who live on one "shore" of the Susquehanna feel that their side is superior. Each side has its own perks IMO. I grew up on the West and now live on the East but I am really the minority. One thing you will find is that people who are faithful to their "side" would rather cut off a limb than cross the river haha.
I moved up here from FL and have lived in Mechanicsburg and now Camp Hill. I like both areas because they are close to shopping, etc., without being too city-esque. I like Camp Hill a bit more because of where in Camp Hill I'm located--I can jump on 83, the Turnpike, 15, etc in minutes.
When we were looking, we were pretty much limited to the West Shore due to my stepson being about an hour from here...we didn't want to move further from him. Like pp said, I've heard good things about Hershey and other areas outside of Harrisburg.
Good luck in your search!
