• Source: List of Harrisburg neighborhoods

    • The following is a list of neighborhoods, districts, and other sections located in the city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The list is organized by broader geographical sections within the city. While there is no official list of neighborhoods, districts, and places, this list was compiled from the sources listed in the References and External links sections, as well as from published information from secondary sources.
    Common usage for Harrisburg's neighborhood names does not respect "official" borders used by the city's police, planning commission or other entities. Therefore, some of the places listed here may overlap geographically, and residents do not always agree where one neighborhood ends and another begins. Some names are past neighborhoods or developments that no longer exist (such as "Hardscrabble").
    Historically, neighborhood development has followed ward boundaries, but many neighborhoods and historic districts have been re-shaped by community leaders, the Harrisburg Architectural Review Board, and planning organizations in the post-industrial era.
    Historian Jeb Stuart wrote of the overlapping patchwork of neighborhoods, while "potentially confusing, only speaks positively to the ongoing quest of the citizenry in naming and building community cohesiveness in the areas in which they live." Neighborhoods distinguish themselves through architecture, construction, time period, setting, topography and reasons for development.
