Uptown Harrisburg Homes for Rent

Uptown Harrisburg, stretching north along the Susquehanna River, offers a blend of urban and suburban living. This older neighborhood is characterized by its tall trees, narrow streets, and a variety of housing options, from traditional rowhomes and twins to midcentury bi-level and split-level homes with modern traditional features. The area is known for its green spaces, including Italian Lake Park, which hosts events like summer concerts and a Christmas celebration, and the Capital Area Greenbelt, a linear trail linking parks throughout the capital area. Residents enjoy local dining options such as the 24-hour Front Street Diner and Gabriel’s Pizza, and can shop for groceries at CTown Market Fresh or Save A Lot. While major retail requires a trip to downtown Harrisburg or the suburbs, the neighborhood offers convenient access to public transportation via Capital Area Transit bus routes and is near Route 81 for regional travel. Harrisburg International Airport is 12 miles away, and UPMC Harrisburg, providing 24-hour emergency care, is about 4 miles south. The Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex and Expo Center, just across the tracks, hosts significant events like the Pennsylvania Farm Show and the Great American Outdoor Show, which can increase traffic but also provide entertainment within walking distance. Flooding is a notable concern due to the neighborhood's proximity to the river.
