Why Newberry Township ?

Newberry Township is a growing residential community situated between Harrisburg and York. Because of this prime location, there is easy access to enjoy all the cultural events offered by both cities with very little travel, while living in an area that is suburban to the city environment. Newberry Township offers a variety of housing opportunities for all income levels. These opportunities include townhouses, single-family attached and detached homes, mobile homes, and apartments.

Newberry Township is a progressive Township, which is looking at its future growth by updating the Township’s Comprehensive Plan, Zoning and Land Development and Subdivision Ordinances. All updates include the opportunity for community input via public meetings.

Demographically, the Township consists of approximately 14,322 residents, which makes it a Second Class Township under the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. The median household income as of 1990 was $35,005. Approximately 62% of the Township’s residents are living in households headed by a married couple. In 2000, 69% of the Township’s population was under the age of 45, indicating a large number of young families with one or more children.

As the Township grows, so do the opportunities for businesses to locate in the area. Service industries will find a rich environment to locate to sell groceries, clothing, furniture, etc. The real estate tax millage rate is .179.
