A suburban development just east of Harrisburg
Skyline View offers comfortable suburban options among Pennsylvania’s rolling, green hills in West Hanover Township. Located just 12 miles east of Harrisburg and 8 miles north of Hershey, Skyline View residents have quick commutes to the capital city's government offices and popular attractions like Hersheypark and Hersheypark Stadium. “It’s a nice little area and a great little neighborhood,” says Fred Lynn, West Hanover Township resident and Realtor at Remax Realty Professionals. “People live here because it’s more rural, but still close to the city of Harrisburg, an hour and a half from Baltimore and two and a half from New York City. The location is awesome.”

State game lands in the mountains and Skyline Commons Park
Skyline View’s subdivisions are surrounded by farmland, and the Appalachian Mountains are just north. “It’s a mountain range, but they’re just big hills. It isn’t like Colorado,” Lynn says. “There are a lot of state game lands there, where people hunt and walk.” Skyline Commons Park also has a playground, pickleball and basketball courts, a small trail and more facilities bordering many neighborhood homes, and Mountain View Swim Club has a lap pool with a slide and diving board bordering the neighborhood.
The gaga pit at Skyline Commons Park is a competitive spot for kids.

Commuting to Harrisburg and nearby facilities
Harrisburg is about 12 miles west, and commuters can get into the city via U.S. Route 22 and Interstate 81. “Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania, so all of the government buildings are there. But most people who work there live out in these townships,” Lynn says. “We’re only about 15 or 20 minutes outside the city.” Harrisburg International Airport is 15 miles south. Skyline View has a CAP Index crime score of 1 out of 10, far below the national average of 4.
