Ask any of our homeowners living at Arcona in Mechanicsburg, and they’ll tell you that their favorite thing about the neighborhood is the fact that everything they need is just 500 steps from home. From pedicures to pilates, shopping for home décor or enjoying a delicious handcrafted meal, the options are endless when you live in The Great American Neighborhood®. This year, the selection will get even better with the addition of SpringGate Winery, IDEA Coffee and Amore Pizza, all located adjacent to Arcona Green in the heart of the neighborhood and all connected by over 10 miles of neighborhood walking trails that make it easy to get anywhere you want to go within a matter of minutes
Along with these additions to Arcona Crossroads, we continue to improve the growing neighborhood and its focus on walkability and connection between families, friends, and neighbors. In this year alone, a $7.5 million dollar investment is underway for road improvements to increase walkability to Crossroads while connecting Arcona to the surrounding community. The project includes a new entrance off Rossmoyne Road, 3 new roundabouts, road widening, pedestrian crosswalks, and additional paved walking paths connecting to the neighborhood trail system. In addition to helping control traffic and promote walkability, the roundabouts will be landscaped with native plants and trees, and will serve as a beautiful connection point between Arcona and the surrounding area.
Parts of the improvement plan require traffic detours that will be in place starting in June and will make Arcona an even better place to live, work and play!
