Roxbury balances wide-open countryside with easy access to the broader Cumberland Valley. Set in northeastern Franklin County, the community benefits from responsive local services through Lurgan Township and straightforward drives to work, shopping, and dining in Shippensburg, county offices and major healthcare in Chambersburg, and arts and eateries in Carlisle. Many residents choose Roxbury for its quieter roads, starry skies, and the sense that everyday life moves at a more thoughtful pace—without sacrificing convenience.
Families are served by the Shippensburg Area School District, which offers robust academics, career pathways, and extracurriculars. Nearby Shippensburg University expands opportunities with dual-enrollment options, lectures, and performances that enrich community life.
Outdoors, weekends are made for cycling on the Cumberland Valley Rail Trail, fly-fishing and leaf-peeping in the ridges and hollows of the Michaux State Forest, and unhurried country drives ending at local produce stands. Summer brings a signature tradition at the Roxbury Holiness Camp, where generations have gathered for concerts, worship, and family-friendly events.
Whether you’re drawn by elbow room, school options, or a straightforward commute to regional job centers, Roxbury makes daily life feel grounded and practical.
