South Harrisburg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

South Harrisburg is an area in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Its zip codes are 17104 and 17106. Its southern and eastern borders are formed by the Capital Area Greenbelt; its northern border by Interstate 83; its western border by the Susquehanna River.

The south side of Harrisburg is the site of the Hall Manor housing projects. This section of Harrisburg is notorious for drug abuse and violent crime. In recent years there have been campaigns led by Allison Hill and Mayor Stephen R. Reed to clean up the neighborhood. The crime rates have reflected the effort put forth by these campaigns.
