Property facts enriched via realestateapi · 9/29/2026
Physical conditions that affect value and rarely appear on a listing.
Constant road noise from an arterial route. Frontage cuts residential appeal and can raise commercial appeal; which one depends on zoning.
Transformer hum, and a persistent resale objection whatever the engineering says.
Where a line crosses a parcel there is usually a recorded easement restricting what can be built under it — check the deed, not the map.
Transformer hum, and a persistent resale objection whatever the engineering says.
172 of 2,313 units vacant year-round, around or below the national tract average. A further 120 unit(s) are vacant seasonally — second homes rather than distress — so a headline vacancy rate quoted elsewhere for this tract will read 13%.

Dauphin County Tax Claim Bureau ↗Self-reported median across the whole tract — context for whether a number is plausible, not a comparable and never a bid input.
Tract median household income. Sets what a local buyer can finance.
Ground elevation at the parcel. Compare with the FEMA base flood elevation where one is published.
Outside the 1% annual chance floodplain.
A mapped public road runs along or beside the parcel.
Everyday shopping — worth checking on rural parcels, where it can be twenty miles.
Owner-occupied majority, which usually means a retail resale is possible.
© OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Flood zones from FEMA, elevation from USGS, tract statistics from the US Census. Proximity is measured from the parcel’s recorded location, which for most parcels is an assessor centroid rather than a boundary — treat these as figures to verify on a site visit, not as survey distances.
