Progress, PA

Located just minutes east of downtown Harrisburg, Progress is an established suburban neighborhood that gives residents easy access to everything the capital region has to offer. Sitting primarily in Susquehanna Township, it puts everyday shopping, casual dining, and local businesses right along Jonestown Road and Progress Avenue. With Interstate 83 hugging its eastern edge and Interstate 81 just around the corner, commuting to work or heading over to nearby shopping in Colonial Park is remarkably simple.

The community has a long local history dating back to the early 1800s, when it started as a small settlement known by names like Shellstown and Mud Town before officially becoming Progress. Over the decades, it grew through the streetcar era and postwar building boom into a comfortable residential pocket with quiet streets and local schools. Today, it offers a great mix of relaxed neighborhood charm, dependable community staples like its longtime volunteer fire department, and an unbeatable location close to the city.
