Paxtonia #6 Best Places to Live in Dauphin County
Current Resident: Paxtonia is a small community that is clean, calm, and connected to each other. I love the community between the people and the safe neighborhoods. The houses are well-kept and seem friendly and connected. It's a place where I feel safe walking at night and enjoys walking my charge and exploring the fields around our houses. Though it can be a bit chilly, when the trees are all green and the Queen Anne's Lace blooms with forsythias, its amazingly beautiful. The negatives include: parking lot glaciers during the winter and potholes within potholes. The glaciers seem to form overnight after a large snowstorm, only popping up after the plows go through. Potholes and the eternal roadwork are a staple of PA in general, but especially in Paxtonia. As soon as one project for gas lines is finished two more potholes appear. Despite the never ending roadwork and mini-glaciers, Paxtonia has proven a safe and supportive place to live with a deep sense of community. Read 27 Reviews
