Nestled in the heart of Central Pennsylvania, Hershey is more than just the home of chocolate — it's a vibrant, welcoming community built on a legacy of innovation, generosity, and small-town charm. Founded by Milton S. Hershey in the early 1900s, the town blends rich history with modern convenience, offering residents an unmatched lifestyle just minutes from Harrisburg and major highways.
What makes Hershey truly unique is that it was literally built as a model community — with the worker in mind. Milton Hershey constructed the town alongside his chocolate factory, including schools, parks, a theater, and a hotel, creating a place where residents didn't just work, but thrived. That legacy of community investment is still felt today. Walking through Hershey, you notice it immediately: the streets are clean, the architecture is deliberate, and neighbors actually know each other.
Hershey sits within Derry Township in Dauphin County, and the surrounding township communities — Hummelstown, Palmdale, Palmyra — offer additional housing options that draw on the same school district, employer base, and lifestyle. Whether you're drawn here by the medical center, the school district, the lifestyle, or simply the address, Hershey consistently ranks as one of Central PA's most desirable communities.
Hershey offers a wide variety of housing options — from charming historic homes that once housed Hershey Company workers to newer custom builds and modern townhome communities. The market here is competitive: homes move quickly, often with multiple offers, and values have shown steady appreciation over time. Walkable in-town homes near Chocolate Avenue tend to command premium prices, while properties further out in Derry Township offer more land and square footage at a wider price range.
The community is served by the highly regarded Derry Township School District, making it especially attractive for families. Commuters and professionals appreciate Hershey’s central location, with quick access to Harrisburg, I-83, Route 322, and nearby employment hubs like Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey Entertainment and Resorts, and The Hershey Company — three of the region's largest employers, all headquartered right here.
For investors and buyers interested in the rental market, Hershey benefits from a constant flow of medical residents, graduate students, and healthcare professionals tied to Penn State Health and Penn State College of Medicine — creating strong year-round demand for well-located properties. Communities like Cocoa Townes and Cambridge Commons have added townhome and condo inventory, while properties in the Village of Hershey offer walkable character that simply can't be replicated.
Whether you're relocating, upgrading, or investing, Hershey continues to be one of Central Pennsylvania's most sought-after communities — and one of the few places where the demand fundamentals are as rock-solid as the name recognition.

From casual bites to upscale experiences, Hershey delivers a surprisingly dynamic food scene. Here are some of my personal go-to spots:
Shopping-wise, you’ll find everything from boutique shops on Chocolate Avenue to national retailers at the nearby Tanger Outlets Hershey, which draws shoppers from across the region. Downtown Hershey's walkable commercial corridor is a genuine asset — the kind of Main Street atmosphere most communities spend decades trying to recreate.
Hershey is more outdoors-friendly than most people expect, with a strong network of parks, trails, and natural recreation within and immediately surrounding the community:
Hershey is proudly served by the Derry Township School District, recognized for its academic excellence, supportive staff, and strong athletic programs and extracurricular programs. The district runs a full K-12 pipeline:.
Also located here is the prestigious Milton Hershey School—
a cost-free, private boarding and day school providing education and support to children from income-qualifying families nationwide. It's one of the most generously endowed schools in the country and a point of pride for the entire community.
For higher education, Penn State College of Medicine and Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center anchor the eastern edge of town, making Hershey a hub for medical education, research, and innovation in Central Pennsylvania. HACC (Harrisburg Area Community College) and Penn State Harrisburg are both within easy commuting distance.
Community life thrives year-round thanks to Hersheypark events, Hershey Bears hockey at GIANT Center, the Hershey Public Library, and a robust calendar of neighborhood and civic events. This isn't a town where people just sleep — it's one where they actually live.
