Midtown Harrisburg boasts the excitement of a big city with the old-fashioned touches that come with living in central Pennsylvania. The busy little community sits just east of the Susquehanna River and a mile west of downtown's 7th Street.

Walk a mile from your centrally-located apartment and you're sure to uncover such treasures as local artwork at 3rd Street's Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center, a painstakingly-crafted scone at the Famous Reading Cafe on Third and Reily, and a brilliant foreign film at Midtown Cinema on Reily Street. Unwind after a challenging week at work by heading to the Midtown Tavern to enjoy a Yuengling pale ale (or two) with some familiar faces. Whether you enjoy checking out the local bar scene, patronizing the arts, or thrifting at places like the historic Broad Street Market, Midtown Harrisburg has plenty of local gems for you to discover.
