Nestled in the Cumberland Valley of South Central Pennsylvania, Chambersburg combines rich history with small-town appeal. Founded in 1734 by Benjamin Chambers at the confluence of Falling Spring Creek and Conococheague Creek, this historic borough serves as the county seat of Franklin County and stands as the only northern town burned by Confederate forces during the Civil War. Today, the area offers outdoor recreation at nearby Caledonia State Park and Michaux State Forest, while its location along Interstate 81 provides connections to Harrisburg (52 miles northeast) and Washington D.C. (within 100 miles).
Apartment communities in Chambersburg offer various floor plans throughout the area, with average one-bedroom rents around $1,321, below the Pennsylvania state average. The local economy includes manufacturing, healthcare, education, and agriculture sectors, with major employers including WellSpan Health (formerly Summit Health Services), the Chambersburg Area School District, and Menno Haven retirement community. The historic Capitol Theatre hosts performances and community events, while downtown's Memorial Square serves as the center for annual festivals and gatherings. With Wilson College and the surrounding countryside's natural beauty, Chambersburg combines small-town atmosphere with everyday conveniences.
