City Island delivers an everyday getaway right in the Susquehanna River, with skyline views and easy access to downtown Harrisburg. On warm evenings, the crack of the bat at the Harrisburg Senators at FNB Field floats across the water, while families queue for cruises aboard the Pride of the Susquehanna riverboat or a round at Water Golf on City Island. Stroll the pedestrian Walnut Street Bridge from downtown, bike the riverside paths, or spread out for festivals and fireworks that make the island feel like the city’s front porch.
Living near City Island means you can walk to dinner, a science show, or a ballgame without moving your car. The independent spirit of downtown’s cultural scene is anchored by the Whitaker Center for Science & the Arts and the farm-fresh bounty of the Broad Street Market in nearby Midtown. Families tap into the Harrisburg School District, while career-switchers and students appreciate the industry-aligned programs at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology. Commuters benefit from quick highway access, yet the island’s green spaces and river breezes make home feel worlds away.
