A historic town transformed into a bustling town center
Originally founded in 1753, Elizabethtown’s roots go back far, but with local shops and parks throughout the Borough, residents have plenty to do in modernity. Nicknamed E-Town by locals, the Borough features shops and restaurants along High Street, and residents can just walk from their homes to this downtown area. A local organization, LIV E-Town, works on engaging the community through events and social gatherings. “All of the sudden, you feel new excitement downtown,” says associate broker and longtime resident Lethea Myers with Hathaway HomeService Homesale Realty. “That group seems to bring such energy.”
High Street in Elizabethtown is the main thoroughfare and has many shops and restaurants.

Streets lined with twin homes in every style
With Elizabethtown’s roots going so far back, homebuyers might find houses dating back to the early 1900s. Twin homes are the most popular housing type in E-Town, represented in every architectural style, from classic Colonial Revivals to American foursquares. Most twin homes feature a front porch overlooking the sidewalks. Because homes are placed tightly together on streets, many park along the road in front of homes, though back alleys might also feature detached garages behind houses. Further away from E-Town’s historic center, the spaces between homes grow for larger front yards and people can find single-family homes like brick Colonial Revivals and ranches. Homes across Elizabethtown list between $225,000 and $400,000, with the twin homes typically listing lower.

Plenty of spaces for kids to play at Elizabeth Borough Community Park
At the center of E-Town, Elizabethtown Borough Community Park sits at the center of the community, offering a space where people can stroll through the trees along the pathways. The park has multiple playgrounds for the kids, including the Fun Fort, which uses vibrant colors and has lots of unique equipment types to get kids climbing, swinging and playing. Athletes can play at the basketball courts or baseball fields. Poplar Street Park features three more baseball fields. Here, residents can find Gears Community Center, which offers lots of summer camps and leagues for the E-Town community and includes an indoor pool.

Elizabethtown's downtown full of cafes and gift shops
When looking for a cup of joe in E-Town, residents can stop in Folklore Coffee and Co. for coffee and sandwiches. The shop features big windows lined with lights, creating a cozy coffeehouse vibe perfect for people-watching. On Fridays, Lucky Ducks Bar and Grille creates an exciting happy hour atmosphere with live music. Their menu is eclectic, with their specialties including fish tacos, jumbo crab cakes and black bean chicken chili. Elizabethtown has more than just restaurants, with little markets like Charlamay’s Trinkets and Treasures, where people can find everything from candles and clothes to art and seasonal décor. Just off Market Street, residents can get their groceries at Giant or Weis Markets. Over by Elizabethtown College, Gene Wenger’s Meats and Fine Foods sells fresh meat, like their specialty, ham loaf. “You just haven’t tried a ham loaf until you’ve tried Wenger’s ham loaf,” Myers says. Campus Ridge Farm Market offers locally-grown seasonal produce and baked goods, including regional favorites like whoopie pies, shoofly pies and apple dumplings.

From Elizabethtown Fair to days out at Hersheypark
In August, the Elizabethtown Fair comes to the fairgrounds, offering contests of every kind, like baby races, photo contests, bale throwing competitions, corn hole tournaments and a talent show. On the second Friday of each month, LIV E-Town plans free activities like scavenger hunts, cookie decorating, live music, parades, tree lighting, caroling and more to draw folks downtown. Quickly becoming must-attend events, they always feature a theme—like Egg-Stravaganza, Shamrock Gras Soiree, or Fall in Love with Downtown. In the fall, people can head over to Masonic Village Farm Market to pick their own apples and pumpkins. Hersheypark is also just 11 miles from Elizabethtown for when residents want thriller rollercoaster rides.

Amtrak connectivity to Harrisburg from Elizabethtown
Elizabethtown started as an important stop along the railroad and today honors those roots with an Amtrak station that connects residents to Harrisburg, 21 miles away, and Harrisburg International Airport, 10 miles away. Pennsylvania State Routes 230 and 283 also connect people to the capital city and Lancaster, 20 miles in the other direction. Sidewalks make E-Town walkable, which helps when the town lacks a bus system. Penn State Health Milton South Hershey Medical Center is just 11 miles from Elizabethtown.
