Anyone that lives on the West Shore of the Harrisburg area probably has an opinion about New Kingstown. It's an odd little community, divided by the Carlisle Pike as it becomes more highway like, and actually has buildings in the large island area between the east and west lanes of the highway.
My opinion is more of a question - how does it keep surviving? I know that there's no way I would ever buy a house that essentially sits right on top of a highway, which many of the homes of New Kingstown do. I suspect most of the market feels similarly, which depresses market value. It's relatively prime land for development, well, except that there's already all these people living there, but it's sandwiched between the big commercial zone of the Carlisle Pike and the up-and-coming auto dealership and other large entity commercial zone that leads up to Cumberland Valley High School.
It just seems to me that economic and political pressure is going to grow to, well, I guess "move" that community somewhere else and use that land for other purposes. If you look at the recent history of the Carlisle Pike, you see this kind of thing happening over and over again. I'm not saying this should happen - just that it looks like it will happen.
