The capital of our Commonwealth, Harrisburg is situated along the banks of the Susquehanna River. The ornate dome of the Capitol dominates the skyline; when the structure was dedicated in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt said, "It's the handsomest building I ever saw." Visitors can tour this historic structure and marvel at its sheer size: the structure covers five and a half acres. The Rotunda, a copy of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica, rises 272 feet. Visitors can also take in performances at the Harrisburg Shakespeare Festival, attend a Harrisburg Senators baseball game, or check out the Susquehanna Museum of Art. Every year, the Pennsylvania Farm Show delights 400,000 locals and tourists with exhibits, competitions, and plenty of food. It is the largest indoor agricultural event in the country.

The greater Harrisburg area features both rural and suburban living and boasts an abundance of sports, arts, cultural events, and entertainment. The region includes historically significant areas such as Gettysburg and world-famous attractions such as Hershey Park.

Listed among Forbes.com America's Most Livable Cities, and ranked in U.S. News & World Report's Best Cities to Live, Harrisburg is centrally located and is only a two to three-hour drive away from New York City, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C.

The area offers top-rated public schools, blue-ribbon private schools, and some of Pennsylvania's top colleges and universities. Area school districts are consistently ranked in the top 20 percent of Pennsylvania. With affordable homes -- a composite cost of living index of 99.7, compared to 126.5 in Philadelphia -- it's a great place to grow a career and family.
