South Harrisburg Homes for Rent

South Harrisburg, bordered by the Susquehanna River, the Capital Beltway, and the Capital Area Greenbelt Trail, is a neighborhood with a rich industrial history. The area, once a hub for steel production and railroad traffic, now hosts the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and features a mix of housing developments and commercial areas. Homes here are primarily brick twins, row houses, and single-family residences built between the early 1900s and 1950s, including colonials, ranch-style, and Cape Cods. Many properties are marketed as investment opportunities, with some partially refurbished. Local attractions include Cloverly Heights Park, Phoenix Park, and the Capital Area Greenbelt Trail, which connects various parks, gardens, and museums. The State Museum of Pennsylvania is 4 miles away, offering exhibits on anthropology, geology, and more. Dining options include independently owned stores and eateries, such as Pho 99 and Kanlaya Thai in Asia Mall, and the 901 Lounge at Lochiel Hotel. Annual events like the Artsfest at Riverfront Park and the Kipona Festival provide cultural and recreational activities. The neighborhood is 2 miles from Downtown Harrisburg and 7 miles from Harrisburg International Airport, with residents relying on cars, local buses, and the Harrisburg Amtrak station for transportation.
