Historic homes and apartments just outside the heart of the city

Architecture Historic Community Restaurants

Located less than five blocks from the picturesque Susquehanna River and the Governor's Residence, Old Uptown Harrisburg is a charming mix of new residents and long-standing houses. Walk among tree-lined streets in front of historic homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s as you make your way to restaurants, entertainment, and local shops located on these city streets.

Watch the latest small-release or independent film at Midtown Cinema on Susquehanna Street, or enjoy a comedy show at Harrisburg Improv Theatre just east of your neighborhood. Little Amps Coffee Roasters sells its own roasted coffees and vinyl records. Take both back to your apartment for a sensory treat of aromas and music. This charming part of Harrisburg sits immediately north of the center of downtown, making it perfect for residents who don’t want to be in the heart of the action, but still want their community to have plenty of character.
