You want Annville,PA which is only a 20 min drive to Harrisburg and is 40 minutes north of York. Annville is medium sized town, it has timely access to 422, 322 and 81, 15 miles from Lancaster and 5 from Hershey. It’s quite and surrounded by farm fields. 3 good Pho restaurants within 3 miles of each other, awesome bakeries and 3 groceries stores to choose from, they also have a great butcher shop. Several pizza joints, two Sheetz gas stations, new ASH bar 5 miles away (whiskey and cigars) that is top notch. The town is clean and family friendly. If you like the outdoors they have awesome trails close by and within a 10-15 minute drive. Penn State Med Center is 7 miles away (great healthcare) and several micro brewpubs like Rotunda, Snitch Creek and a bigger brewery called Troegs (in Hershey). Hershey is awesome due to all of the new restaurants and bars within the town and surrounding areas.

I lived in Harrisburg in 2011 and it has declined in safety and affordability over the past decade, same goes for York.

Don't believe it when someone tells you Annville is 20 mins from Harrisburg.

Maybe if you go 70 mph the entire way with green lights all the way, but not otherwise. Nearly all of the speed limit is 50 or under, you have to grind thru Hershey and Palmyra, and there are no less than 16 traffic lights between the time you get on 83 and when you arrive at 422/934.

Also, Annville is a dinky place (pop 5,000) that does not have all that the poster claims it has.
