Greene is a tranquil township in Franklin County, about 5 miles from downtown Chambersburg. “You have a good mixture of rural areas, and farming is still big here,” says Greene Township Supervisor Shawn Corwell. “There’s also a mix of housing developments, so it’s very neighborly.” Residents travel into Chambersburg daily for shopping, dining and working, although there are a few manufacturers and local restaurants in the township. Greene receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Caledonia State Park and the township's park offer outdoor fun
Caledonia State Park spans 1,125 acres within South Mountain, part of which is in Greene. “We spent summers at that park, visiting the swimming pool and hiking on the trails,” says Arnold Barbour, Realtor with Iron Valley Real Estate of Chambersburg, who grew up in neighboring Fayetteville. The swimming pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Anglers fish at the East Branch Conocheague and Rocky Mountain creeks, and kayak at Long Pine Run Reservoir. At Greene Township Park, athletic fields include the baseball diamond where the Chambersburg Trojans play. There are four playgrounds and over a mile of paved walking trails. Corwell says one recent addition is a mini-pitch, a fenced-in turf area with bigger goals than a normal soccer field. “It’s there to teach little kids how to play soccer,” he says. Chambersburg Country Club has a private 18-hole golf course. “A lot of residents belong to the club,” Corwell says.

Greene has a busy housing market with a variety of homes
Within Greene, homes range from multiacre properties surrounded by farmland to newer houses in clustered subdivisions. Villages within the township include houses from the early 1900s. “The older, established communities have the two-story Colonial Revivals,” Barbour says. Mid-20th-century split-levels and ranch-style homes are also common. There has been a lot of development since 2000, mainly consisting of colonial-style New Traditionals. The market has been busy, with over 250 properties sold between September 2024 and September 2025. Single-family homes range from $200,000 to $610,000, although investment properties have sold for less. There are some townhouses and duplexes, which typically cost between $170,000 and $310,000. Manufactured homes cost between $50,000 and $240,000.
According to First Street, Greene has a major risk of flooding.

Major highways give easy access to major cities like Baltimore
Greene residents rely on cars to get around. Major highways, Interstate 81 and U.S. Route 11, go through the township. Hagerstown Regional Airport is about 35 miles away and has over 20 direct flights. “If you’re doing shorter domestic flights, you’ll fly out of Hagerstown or Harrisburg [International Airport],” Corwell says. He says people fly out of Baltimore or Washington, about 105 miles away, for longer flights. The closest emergency room is at WellSpan Chambersburg Hospital, about 5 miles away. Several manufacturers, like Applegate Insulation and Monarch Manufacturing LLC, are in the township, most within Green Village.
Local businesses include Hickory Ridge Restaurant and 65 South BBQ
Greene residents dine at a handful of locally owned restaurants. Kenny’s Grill and Ice Cream is a diner and drive-through that makes its own soft-serve. At Hickory Ridge Restaurant, the menu consists of homestyle dishes that Barbour says make people feel nostalgic. “They bring you back to that era of Sunday dinners with Grandma,” he says. House-smoked meats are available at 65 South BBQ, which Barbour calls a well-kept secret, partially because of its limited hours. It is only open from Friday through Sunday for most of the year and closes as soon as the food is gone. “If you’re one of the fortunate ones to get a meal, you won’t be disappointed,” Barbour says. While a Dollar General is in Greene, most stores are in Chambersburg. These include grocery stores like Giant and big-box options like Target.
