Re: Moving to the Harrisburg area
In Hampden? It's that way up here in my neck of the woods. Everybody knows everybody to the point of it being a bit weird. We're looking at moving back down your way after our 16 year experiment up here in the boonies.
OP--Hampden is a great township. Tax rate is very low and the services are outstanding. There are some nice places in Dauphin with Harrisburg addresses but be wary of the taxes. Some of the townships have outrageous tax rates.
I'm up here in the boonies of Perry County, about 40 minutes out of Harrisburg on 40 acres. I'm tired of the upkeep and I'm ready to return to suburban life with the convenience of everything 5 minutes away. Perry County is great if you're looking for country. We're out of the "emissions inspection" area around Harrisburg. Tax rates are low and property is reasonable."A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself"

Re: Moving to the Harrisburg area
THIS IS SO TRUE.
Stay out of Harrisburg as much as possible and when you do go there, carry!
Stay on the southern side of Harrisburg, when you go north in the Hershey area or just outside in Camp Hill...taxes will be sky high. I'd recommend something south of New Cumberland here in York County. Dover/Dillsburg/Mechanicsburg area is great to me.
Welcome to PA (soon!). It's great to have someone who understands freedom joining us rather than another leach from New Jersey.Galations 6:9...And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Re: Moving to the Harrisburg area
Biggest adjustment here is that people are clammed up. They won't invite you over to have a beer or grill out. People often go to church then leave immediately afterwards. They can be sociable while you're doing what you're doing, but then afterwards it's like you didn't exist. They're busy but they don't do anything. It's irritating.

Re: Moving to the Harrisburg area
Welcome to the area. You will love it. I came from one of the New states but the western part where it is much more like central PA.

Re: Moving to the Harrisburg area
Welcome....I have lived in central Pa all of my life (but have worked all over the country). The Harrisburg area is split in the middle by the Susquehanna river (great bass fishing) and people refer to the two halves as the East Shore and the West Shore. The actual city of Harrisburg is on the East Shore. The West Shore is more of the "suburbs" and has many great areas. As others have said Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg and Dillsburg as all nice areas. It is somewhat confusing as far as school districts because towns do not align with school districts. The Harrisburg area has a small urban area but is nice because you can be downtown and 20 minutes later can be out in the woods. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to PM me.
