Enola, PA

Sitting right along the west bank of the Susquehanna River, Enola offers a quiet, relaxed setting just across the water from downtown Harrisburg. It is an easygoing suburban community where established neighborhoods and tree-lined streets give way to scenic river views. Originally built up as a bustling railroad town in the early 1900s, Enola retains its historic blue-collar roots while offering newcomers an affordable, neighborly place to call home on Central Pennsylvania's West Shore.
