Living in Hershey: Communities, Housing and Commutes
Start with the life you want to build here: your work destination, housing budget, preferred home style and everyday routine. Then compare actual homes across Hershey and Derry Township, Hummelstown and Palmyra.
We have lived in nearby Palmyra since 2010. Our family’s own moves—from Springbrook Farms to building in Carriage Park—help us understand how a home, neighborhood and daily routine need to work together.
Try the commute from each home at the times you expect to travel. Confirm its municipality, school assignment, taxes and association responsibilities; a mailing address alone does not establish those details.
Moving for medical work or training? David and Carin lead our medical-relocation support. Start with the complete Hershey medical relocation guide for a timeline, area comparisons and planning tools. Team Becker is independent of Penn State Health.
Buying from a distance? Our remote-buying guide explains video tours, local coordination and what still needs an independent inspection.
