Small-town feel minutes from Harrisburg
Uphill from an old steel mill town near Harrisburg, Enhaut comprises a wooded corner of Swatara Township that offers a relaxed suburban feel. “Enhaut has a small-town vibe,” says Realtor Brenda Garcia of Weichert Realtors First Choice. “People know each other because they see each other around.” Predominately residential, the enclave straddles Highland Street, a two-lane thoroughfare that leads into Steelton along the Susquehanna River and the rest of the suburban township south of the state capital.
The sidewalks are easily walkable in Enhaut and neighbors socialize from porch to porch.

Modest brick homes steeped in historic charm
Outlined by a dense tree line, Enhaut’s orderly, gridded streets are lined with an amalgam of small yet charming homes. Few markers or signs recognize the community’s historical character, but the homes are a testament to early suburban town development from the late 1800s and early 1900s. As new residents move in, they are renovating their properties, says Realtor Christen Tribbitt of Keller Williams Elite. “Existing properties are receiving some pampering,” she says. “Folks are breathing new life into them.” Prices range between townhouses starting at $70,000 and newly renovated Cape Cods for $235,000.

Pocket neighborhood parks and recreation by the Susquehanna
“There are a couple of parks in the area that kids can walk to and play basketball,” Garcia says, adding that playgrounds, picnic areas and sporting courts are all close by. Contributing to the small neighborhood feel, Enhaut Park welcomes dog walkers, ball players and children to its playgrounds, hard surface courts and sizable baseball field. Emerald fairways along the rolling hills of Dauphin Highlands Golf Course just east of the neighborhood beckons golfers to practice their swing and hone their skills. Residents also take advantage of their proximity to the Susquehanna River. Only 15 minutes west, City Island is a destination for recreation, and locals seek out a spot on the island’s beach in the summer to swim and sunbathe. The island is also home to the Skyline Sports Complex and FNB Field, where the Harrisburg Senators baseball team plays regular games. On Independence Day, City Island swarms with locals for the July 4th Food Truck Festival, an annual celebration featuring over 45 food trucks and an impressive fireworks display.
The playground at Mohn Street Park is thrilling for young children in Enhaut and Steelton.
