About Williamsport

Eighty-five miles north of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Williamsport hosts 31,000 residents along the West Branch Susquehanna River. In the 1800s, the city was known as "The Lumber Capital of the World,” although the industry has since experienced a significant decline. With a diverse culture, Williamsport features a wide range in wealth. Millionaire's Row, along West 4th Street, includes a few dozen mansions and well-kept properties, while other neighborhoods feature charming middle-class homes. Regardless, residents of a Williamsport house or apartment for rent enjoy the area’s removed location, 2 hours outside of the state capital, as well as the camaraderie amongst neighbors.

Williamsport Regional Airport is severed by U.S. Airways, which offers daily flights to Philadelphia. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Williamsport that do not own a car can get by on the River Valley Transit which offers local bus service. A limited selection of regional trains also passes through the city, although they are not commonly used as a means of reaching Harrisburg.
