Types of apartment in Carlisle, PA

Carlisle, PA has many apartments in older brick buildings near Downtown and around Dickinson College. You can also find duplexes and small houses for rent on side streets off High Street and Hanover Street. In the center of town, apartments often sit in converted rowhouses or mixed-use buildings with storefronts below. Exterior details can include red brick, tall windows, porches, and narrow front steps. Inside, layouts can be compact, and upper-floor units might have steeper stairs and less closet space.

Farther north and south, apartments shift toward garden-style buildings, split-level complexes, and townhouse-style rentals with parking lots instead of street parking. Around South Middleton and the edges near the Carlisle Pike, you may see more vinyl-sided buildings and newer houses for rent with driveways and simpler facades. These apartments often have easier parking and larger rooms, but they can sit farther from downtown blocks, Letort Spring Run, and the courthouse area. Older houses near Mooreland can have more exterior character, while newer apartments often trade that for easier access and more standard interiors.
