East Shore is a suburban stretch of Harrisburg that starts immediately east of downtown. Coupled with Central Harrisburg, this swath of suburban Pennsylvania is a fast-growing section of the city. There are several suburban neighborhoods and villages that comprise East Shore/Central, and each of them provides just a little more space and peace and quiet than Downtown Harrisburg. The area is bisected by Interstate 81, making commutes into the city or any of the other neighboring communities easy.

There are many rentals options, as well as attractions and conveniences in the East Shore/Central area. Linglestown Road holds many residential areas and dining and shopping options. Colonial Park Mall is home to grocers and big-box stores as well. A commute into Downtown Harrisburg can range from 10 to 20 minutes depending on where you are, but the nearby highways make exploring the area a breeze.
