Selling Your Home in Millersburg, PA
Millersburg sits on the east bank of the Susquehanna River at the mouth of the Wiconisco Creek, about 24 miles north of Harrisburg in upper Dauphin County. Routes 147 and 209 meet here, and Upper Paxton Township wraps around the borough. Laid out in 1807, it’s still a river town and a railroad town at heart.
A river town with a full calendar
The Millersburg Ferry — a wooden stern-wheeler that has crossed the Susquehanna since 1825 — is the town’s calling card. On the first Saturday in May, the Cherry Blossom Festival fills Market Street off the square; summer brings concerts and Fourth of July fireworks, and in December neighbors gather for the tree lighting in Market Square. Riverfront Park, the trails at the Ned Smith Center for Nature and Art, and the Millersburg Area School District round out a town where people know each other.
Who’s buying here
About 2,500 people live in the borough, roughly a quarter of them under 18, with a median age near 39. Households are small (about 2 people per home) and about half are owner-occupied, so in-town homes draw first-time buyers, downsizers and investors alike. Out in the surrounding Lykens Valley, Amish families have been settling since the late 1970s, and Plain buyers looking for farms, barns and shop space are part of the mix.
