West Hanover blends rolling farmland, wooded hills, and modern convenience. Set in Dauphin County, it’s minutes from Harrisburg and a quick hop to Hershey, with I‑81 and US‑22/322 streamlining commutes. Weekends practically plan themselves: high‑octane rides at Hersheypark, alfresco festivals and history at Fort Hunter Mansion and Park, or a scenic drive along Fishing Creek Valley to watch the seasons change. Golfers find fairways minutes away, and cyclists enjoy quiet country roads that roll toward the Blue Mountain foothills.
Families benefit from the Central Dauphin School District, known for solid academics, STEM and arts options, and robust athletics. Neighborhood pride shines at school events and township gatherings, while youth leagues, camps, and movie nights through West Hanover Township Parks & Recreation keep calendars comfortably full.
Nature lovers appreciate nearby Boyd Big Tree Preserve Conservation Area for ridge‑top trails and birding. Everyday needs are close at hand along Linglestown Road and Route 39, and larger shopping and healthcare hubs are just a short drive away. Housing ranges from newer cul‑de‑sacs to established streets and scenic country lots, offering choices for first‑time buyers and move‑up households alike.
