The votes are in, the numbers crunched and everyone agrees the Harrisburg/Carlisle region is a great place. In three different polls released in 2010, the region was voted among the top five locations to live, raise a family and retire.
In May 2010 Forbes magazine named the Harrisburg/Carlisle region number five among America's most livable cities. One month later, Forbes announced the 10 best regions in the country for raising a family and this time the Harrisburg/Carlisle region took second place. Finally, Military.com and USAA named the region the fifth best place for a military retirement.
