Making up the area east of Downtown Harrisburg, East Harrisburg is a collection of neighborhoods in the eastern section of the state’s capital. While the western portion of the city, backed by the Susquehanna River, holds the downtown area and is filled with historic architecture, the capitol buildings at Capitol Park, and exciting entertainment, the eastern section is made up of urban residential areas. A variety of apartments in a range of prices as well as locally owned restaurants and shops line the streets. To take a break from the bustle of the city, residents head to parks in town like Reservoir Park. When locals don’t journey into downtown for shopping and dining, they travel a bit outside of the city’s limits to places along Interstate 83 including the Harrisburg Mall.
