About Wormleysburg

Sitting directly across the Susquehanna River from downtown Harrisburg, Wormleysburg offers a quiet riverfront lifestyle with city conveniences right next door. Home to around 3,000 residents, this compact Cumberland County borough got its start as an 18th-century ferry crossing. Today, everyday life still centers on the water, where quiet residential streets and green parks offer great views of the state capitol skyline.

Commuting is simple, with both the Harvey Taylor and Market Street bridges connecting drivers directly to downtown Harrisburg in minutes. Along Front Street, popular waterfront restaurants give locals a place to grab dinner on outdoor decks overlooking the river. Families are served by the West Shore School District, and nearby towns like Camp Hill and Lemoyne provide plenty of neighborhood shops and services. It is a welcoming community for anyone looking for small-town comfort close to the capital.
