About Mechanicsburg

Across the Susquehanna River from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Mechanicsburg is located in the agriculturally rich area known as the Cumberland Valley. Settled in 1806, the city’s population has blossomed to almost 10,000. The area first served as a repair stop for Conestoga wagons and soon became a station for the Cumberland Valley Railroad. Mechanicsburg is also home to the Naval Inventory Control Point, on the outskirts of town. Only 9 miles from the state’s capital, residents of a Mechanicsburg house or apartment for rent can make the commute into downtown in under 20 minutes or take the light rail commuter train in under 10 minutes.

The Mechanicsburg Area Senior High School serves the area’s 9-12 public educational need directly in the city but enrolls students not only from Mechanicsburg but the surrounding area. The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Park and Koser Park are two of the favorite city parks available to residents. They split the responsibility in hosting the Jubilee Day Celebration, the largest one-day street fair on the east coast. Residents of an apartment or home for rent in Mechanicsburg are in close proximity to attractions including Liberty Forge Arboretum, Williams Grove Speedway, Stationmaster's House, Frankeberger Tavern, and Hall's Tower.
