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.

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.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
