Harrisburg and area........ (Hershey, Steelton, Highspire: crime, school district, place to live)

[ckhthankgod]

How would people describe the Harrisburg area? How is the city in terms of crime and the school district? I have noticed that it seems to be a city of a very high Black population not only in the city, but in the suburbs in places like Susquehanna Township, Steelton-Highspire and the Central Dauphin school district area too that has a pretty strong middle class. Is there much to do in terms of entertainment or events? What places would a person recommend to live in the area and Dauphin County in particular?

Use the search funtion here, Harrisburg area has been the topic of many discussions.

Yes, use the search function, but I would stay away from the city school district at all costs; Steel-High is diverse but also does not have great schools. CD is a pretty solid middle class area and the schools are much better than the city. There is a lot to do in the area; I suggest Hershey or the nearby areas as a place to live in Dauphin County.
