Quality of Life
holds a fall festival full of tempting treats. State College turns into an outdoor museum each July when the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts takes over downtown, and ice sculptures abound when First Night State College rings in the new year. It’s just a short drive from Centre County to regional destinations that offer additional opportunities for fun. Go boating at expansive Raystown Lake, or ski the slopes of Blue Knob. Explore local history at the Railroaders Museum in Altoona, or watch modern-day trains navigate the impressive Horseshoe Curve. Visit Little League world headquarters in Williamsport, or spend a day touring area wineries. You also can expand your outdoor options with many more state parks, forests, and natural areas, all within an hour’s drive of Centre County.
Schools, Jobs & Travel
Farmers’ markets allow us to buy locally grown produce on the same day it’s harvested.
Why do so many people who could live anywhere choose to live in Centre County? Maybe it’s our strong housing market, good access to health care, stable economy, and myriad cultural and recreational activities. Maybe it’s our healthy environment and beautiful mountain-and-valley scenery. These are all reasons why we love Centre County – and why we’re sure you’ll love it here as well.
The Great Outdoors
We’re a rural county with fresh air, forested mountains, sparkling streams, and friendly neighbors. The geography of Centre County lends itself to natural beauty that seems to present a different picture around each bend. Many of our rolling mountains are protected as state forests, meaning they’re an undeveloped backdrop of soothing green in the summer and spectacular autumn hues each fall. Racing down the mountainsides are crystal-clear streams, filled with trout that attract fly-fishing fans from around the world. Between the mountain ridges lie fertile valleys dotted with family farms, many of them operated by Amish who take care of the land the old-fashioned way. Our active farming heritage means fresh produce at local farmers’ markets as well as restaurants with farm-totable menus. Because Mother Nature was so good to Centre County, opportunities abound for outdoor recreation throughout our 1,108 square miles. Hiking trails wind up and down mountains, with lots of stops for scenic vistas. Both our flat valleys and sloping mountainsides attract bikers, and the State College area has constructed bike trails suitable for the whole family. Downhill skiers and snowboarders flock to Tussey Mountain Resort
in winter, while six state parks offer quiet spots for outdoor activities the whole year round. That same geography will probably influence your choice for a new home. You might choose a country home with a large yard or even a few acres to spread your wings. Get away from it all with a forested retreat, or move into a home that provides easy commuting via one of our interstate highways. Purchase a carefully restored Victorian house in one of our towns or villages, or build the new home of your dreams. No matter what is happening nationally, real estate is always locally driven. That’s great news for Centre County, where our stable economy supports a reliable housing market.
Close to the Action
Explore the more remote areas of our county, and you’ll feel a million miles away from the rest of the world. No matter how far away you get, though, you’re still no more than half an hour from many of the finer things in life. In State College, Penn State makes Broadway musicals, opera, ballet, and jazz accessible for everyone. We have our own symphony, theater organizations, and choral groups. Visual arts from around the world are on display at the Palmer Museum of Art, and the strong fine-arts program at the university helps provide us with an inspiring community of local artists. Almost every town in Centre County has something to celebrate, and they generally throw an open invitation to everyone around. Bellefonte has the Big Spring Festival — which is held both in the springtime and near the spring (or “fonte”) that gives the county seat its name. Philipsburg honors more than 200 years of history with its annual Heritage Days, while Boalsburg celebrates its claim to fame as the birthplace of Memorial Day. Haines Township
Because our largest employer is a university, education is very important throughout Centre County. Five school districts (and parts of two others) are based here, offering both smallschool friendliness and large-school variety. Several charter schools present opportunities to children with special educational goals. Graduation from high school and college doesn’t mean that learning is over here — the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute allows mature adults to explore diverse interests at a modest cost. In addition to Penn State University, Centre County is home to a wide, stable base of employers in clean industries, many of them high-tech. Other than government-related entities, no single employer holds a large enough share of local jobs to cause worries when sales slip slightly. In fact, unemployment rates here are among the lowest in the state. No matter what, those 46,848 Penn State students need us to provide them with food, shelter, and a little bit of fun. Centre County may be “away from it all,” but it’s easy to get here. Interstate 80 crosses the county from east to west, U.S. Rte. 322 takes us easily to the Harrisburg area and then to Washington, D.C., and Interstate 99 gives us a quick route from I-80 to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and beyond. Plus, travel is fast from State College’s University Park Airport, where a full schedule of flights arrive and depart each day. Even our hospital, Mount Nittany Medical Center, is easily accessible at a highway exit, combining local expertise with the advanced techniques of personnel from Penn State’s Milton S. Hershey School of Medicine. With so much to be happy about in Centre County, we’ve found that people like to move here. Everyone seems to know someone who came here for a Penn State football game or Arts Festival and liked it so much that they came back to stay. For the past 30 years, our population has grown an average of about 10 percent each decade, and now more than 158,000 people live in Centre County. (Of course, that’s still only 142 people per square mile.) Buying your own home here is usually a very good investment — in both your financial future and your family’s lifestyle. n Town&Gown’s 2016-2017 Guide to Neighborhoods

New in Centre County
The 12-story Metropolitan is under construction in downtown State College at West College Avenue and Atherton Street.
Centre County just keeps getting better and better. From new sport facilities to new living options to new ways to have fun, there’s always another reason to make Centre County your home. Downtown State College has two new high rises under construction. Projected to open in fall 2017 is The Metropolitan, a 12-story apartment building for college students and other area residents, with ground-floor restaurants and retail stores. A few blocks away, Fraser Centre is scheduled to open its doors in fall 2016. This major complex will feature a 165-room Hyatt Place hotel and conference center, upscale apartments, a Target store, H&M clothing retailer, and Federal Taphouse bar and restaurant. Among the newest restaurants and taverns to begin seating customers over the past year was The Field at Toftrees Resort. Meanwhile, Otto’s Pub and Brewery began serving at Barrel 21 Distillery and Dining, an upscale distillery and restaurant next door to its current facility. On the retail front, sports fans flocked to shop at the new Dunham’s Sports store at the Nittany Mall.

Town&Gown’s 2016-2017 Guide to Neighborhoods
The State College area has an extensive system of parks and recreation facilities, operated by Centre Region Parks and Recreation. The Oak Hall regional park opened in 2015, with softball fields, picnic pavilions, perimeter trail, and more. Planning is under way for the Whitehall Road regional park, which is set to include sport fields, picnic pavilions, tennis complex, dog park, preserved woodlot, and trailhead for the Musser Gap bikeway. Recent updates have made the Park Forest and Welch swimming complexes popular among both competitive swimmers and families who love the water slides and splash areas. Near the University Park Airport, developers are approaching construction of the Nittany Valley Sports Centre, an 80,000-square-foot indoor sports facility with turf fields, gymnastics training center, batting cages, and more. In Potter Township, planning is under way for the 165-acre Tri-Municipal Park, which may feature soccer and softball fields, playgrounds, hockey rink, fitness trail, and community building.
The Penn State Arboretum recently opened a one-acre children’s garden, focusing on Pennsylvania’s landscape, plants, and animals. Future arboretum plans include an education center, conservatory, and planetarium. Also on campus, a major expansion of the Hetzel Union Building opened recently, featuring additional student activity office space, redesigned retail dining areas, and a larger Penn State Bookstore. In the health care arena, Mount Nittany Medical Center — the county’s major acute-care hospital — added a healing garden for the spiritual comfort of both patients and visitors. In Philipsburg, Penn Highlands Clearfield opened its new Moshannon Valley Community Medical Building. And, of course, new neighborhoods are under development across Centre County, as described throughout this publication. Wherever you’re planning to make your home in Centre County, you can always count on new developments to maintain and improve our wonderful quality of life. n

Penn State University Penn State
If you live in Centre County, Penn State University plays a role in your life. From economics to cultural opportunities to atmosphere, the university influences just about everything here. Thanks to PSU, we have arts and cultural opportunities that you wouldn’t normally find in a community the size of Centre County. We can peruse exhibits on everything from worldclass art (the Palmer Museum of Art) to bugs (the Frost Entomological Museum). This year alone, we could attend Eisenhower Auditorium performances including Jersey Boys, Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, and the Moscow Festival Ballet. We also tuned in to performers like Paul McCartney, Amy Schumer, and Barry Manilow at the Bryce Jordan Center. Guest lecturers spark our thoughts in a variety of subjects, and local residents can research their interests at Penn State’s many libraries. We always have something to cheer about, thanks to Penn State’s 31 different intercollegiate sports. The landscape here turns blue and white on home football Saturdays as more than 107,000 fans pour into Beaver Stadium to see the Nittany Lions in action — and this is in a county with only 158,742 residents! State College is the population center of Centre County, mainly because of the 46,848 students who attend classes at Penn State’s University Park campus, and the two-thirds of all jobs here that directly or indirectly relate to those students. Penn State is by far the county’s largest employer, and the university has a direct business impact of $1.4 billion in Centre County each year. Centre County consistently posts the lowest unemployment rate in Pennsylvania,
Penn State’s 5,548-acre University Park campus is a focal point for State College and Centre County.
Penn State FAQs What’s a “Nittany” lion? “Nittany” comes from a Native American term meaning “single mountain.” The Nittany Lion mascot is based on the mountain lions that used to roam Central Pennsylvania. How many PSU students live in Centre County? More than 46,000 students are enrolled at the University Park campus. Some commute from other areas, but most live locally. How can I contact students and staff? Go to www.psu.edu/ph/ and type in the name of the person you’re looking for. You’ll see email, phone, and other contact info the person has listed. Since it’s Penn “State,” it must be a state school, right? Yes and no. Penn State isn’t owned by the state, but it is “staterelated,” and does receive money from the state each year.

effort in American higher education. Penn State’s TV and radio stations reach 1.3 million households, its Cooperative Extension efforts help 2 million people a year, and its online World Campus teaches students around the world. If you’re new to Centre County, chances are that Penn State already influenced your world even before you considered moving here. Penn State alumni invented the telephone jack, helped write Casablanca, and fathered the modern semiconductor industry. Ninety percent of golf courses worldwide use turfgrass varieties developed here, and ice cream gurus Ben and Jerry got their start from a Penn State correspondence course in icecream making. Although the University Park campus is Penn State’s main campus, it’s also just one Penn State Football of many.

due in large part to the stability of our largest employer. Also, Penn State conducts more than $801 million worth of research each year, and many companies spin out of that research to take root locally in the private sector. Having a major, well-respected university in our midst helps improve education at all levels in the county. Our school districts consistently rank above average on standardized tests, and 40.4 percent of residents age 25 and older hold at least a bachelor’s degree. Plus, in addition to teaching those 46,848 students here, Penn State helps educate our community — and others across the state — through the largest outreach

Affordable Housing Owning your own home is the American dream. Numerous programs in Centre County help local residents with low to moderate incomes to achieve that dream.
Centre County Affordable Housing Coalition www.ccaffordablehousingcoalition.org Formed in 1996, the coalition has more than 130 members representing more than 60 organizations. The group’s mission is to ensure that all residents of Centre County, especially those with low incomes, have decent, safe, affordable, and accessible housing. The coalition’s "Yes in My Backyard" group supports the development of affordable housing in all area communities. CCAHC also sponsors a local Affordable Housing Summit each fall.
Centre County Association of REALTORS®
ccarinc.realtor Because they spend every day helping people buy homes, members of the Centre County Association of REALTORS® realize how difficult it can be for public servants and service personnel to find affordable housing. CCAR has launched the American Dream Housing Fund to help low- to moderate-income home buyers working in the county by providing no-interest down-payment assistance loans. The fund is managed through the Centre Foundation. CCAR works with existing county-based agencies to qualify buyers who will benefit from the fund.
Centre Foundation
www.centrefoundation.org Workforce housing is the first core local issue of the Centre County Community Foundation’s Focus Centre County initiative. In partnership with the Centre County Housing and Land Trust, the program will seek funding to create more housing for professionals such as nurses and police officers looking to buy their first homes. The foundation defines workforce families as those earning 60 to 120 percent of the local median income.
Centre County First-Time Homebuyer Program
www.centrecountypa.gov Since 1996, Centre County’s First-Time Homebuyer Program has provided more than $2 million in assistance to county residents buying their first homes. Participants can receive up to $10,000 or 10 percent of the home’s purchase price, whichever is lower. The home buyer then pays back this no-interest, deferred loan upon reselling the house so the money can be used by future first-time buyers. Participants must have good credit and a gross household income of less than 100 percent of the county’s median income. For a family of four, that means an income below $73,600. For an individual, the income limit is $51,600.
Centre County Housing and Land Trust www.cchlt.org This fledgling organization acquired its first piece of property in 2008 – 1.6 acres of the former Mellott Mobile Home Park in Patton Township. The parcel was renamed Thompson Place in honor of
Moses Thompson, owner of the property back in the 1840s. The trust worked with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Centre County to establish 10 affordable homes here.
Habitat for Humanity
www.habitatgcc.org Habitat for Humanity of Greater Centre County works to build simple, decent, affordable houses for qualified families in need of adequate shelter. Individuals, corporations, faith groups, and others provide financial support, while homeowners and volunteers build the houses themselves, under trained supervision. The houses are sold through a no-profit, no-interest mortgage.
State College Borough First Time Home Buyer Program
www.statecollegepa.us The State College Borough FTHB program offers mortgage and closing cost assistance to both moderate and lower income families in the State College Borough. This typically translates into a home at a monthly cost equal to or lower than rental costs.
State College Community Land Trust
www.scclandtrust.org The State College Community Land Trust helps income-qualified individuals and families purchase homes in the Borough of State College. SCCLT helps reduce the cost of buying a home by splitting the ownership of the property: The homeowner buys the building, while the trust holds the land permanently. This allows the prospective homeowner to apply for a mortgage based only on the cost of the house, reducing the price by as much as 30 percent. n

Among the latest efforts to grow the stock of affordable housing in the Centre Region are: • Opening in 2016, Stonebridge Senior Apartments is comprised of 58 one- and twobedroom units for residents age 55 and older whose incomes meet certain restrictions. Developed by S&A Homes off Bristol Avenue as part of the Stonebridge neighborhood, the complex features some handicap-accessible units, with social services offered by Allegheny Lutheran Social Ministries. • The Borough of State College has developed a new Homestead Investment Program, tasked mainly with turning rental properties near the Penn State campus into owneroccupied housing. Some of the properties the borough purchases through this program will be sold under affordable-housing guidelines. The municipality has allotted an initial $1 million of its line of credit for this part of the program. • Atherton Place features 12 new apartments on South Atherton Street with rents governed by the Low Income Housing Tax Credit program.
Only we have the best brand names without having to leave the neighborhood.

Health Care Centre County residents benefit from many of the excellent health care services you find in larger cities…right here, close to home. That makes it easy to access the care you need, and convenient for family and friends to offer the support you want.
Hospitals
Our largest hospital is State College’s Mount Nittany Medical Center, which is part of the locally based Mount Nittany Health system. The 260-bed acute-care facility offers medical, surgical, diagnostic, and community services, including our local emergency room. The Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Pavilion here is home to the Cancer Care Partnership between Mount Nittany and Penn State Hershey, offering state-of-the-art care for outpatient hematology, medical oncology, and infusion services. HealthSouth Nittany Valley Rehabilitation Hospital in Pleasant Gap is a 73-bed inpatient rehabilitation hospital for patients recovering from joint-replacement surgery, trauma, stroke, and other conditions. Part of a nationwide network, the local HealthSouth facility has earned Joint Commission certifications for its stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, and heart failure programs. Meadows/University Behavioral Health is an inpatient behavioral health hospital near Centre Hall. The Meadows offers comprehensive services in age-specific units for children, adolescents, and adults as well as outpatient medication management and therapy, peer support groups,

family- and school-based behavioral health services, and mobile crisis intervention.
Clinics & Health Centers
Centre County military veterans can get medical care close to home at the recently expanded James E. Van Zandt Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic in College Township. The clinic offers services including behavioral health, laboratory services, nutrition services, preventive care, primary care, social work services, tobacco cessation, and prescriptions. Geisinger Health System recently doubled the size of its Gray’s Woods medical center in Patton Township with a new ambulatory surgery center. One of the region’s major physician
groups, Geisinger also operates a local urgentcare walk-in clinic, Geisinger Careworks. Meanwhile, Penn Highlands Clearfield recently opened its new Moshannon Valley Community Medical Building in Philipsburg. Options for urgent care when a condition is not life-threatening are clinics including Advanced Urgent Care, Dr. Paul’s Clinic, and MedExpress. On the university campus, Penn State students have easy access to the nationally accredited University Health Services Student Health Center. Services include immunizations, nutrition clinic, pharmacy, physical therapy, medical care for routine illnesses, physical exams, x-rays, and allergy services. Off campus, the Penn State Hershey Medical Group operates five local clinics.
Preparing for the Future
Although Penn State’s main campus is in State College, medical students have studied about 90 miles away in Hershey – until recently. The University Park Regional Campus of the Penn State College of Medicine graduated its first cohort of students in 2014 and matched them to residencies across the country. Meanwhile, the University Park Regional Campus and Mount Nittany Health have partnered to develop the Family Medicine Residency Program, which began accepting medical school graduates in 2015. The three-year residency program will help fulfill the regional campus mission of ensuring primary-care providers in Central Pennsylvania for years to come. n

The Bald Eagle Area School District is one of the largest in the state, geographically speaking. However, because so much of the land it covers is rural and sparsely populated, its graduating class of seniors is around 110 each year, providing for a nurturing, family atmosphere for students of all ages. Much of the living here is independent — homes dotting the wooded mountains and farming valleys, with privacy easy to come by. The few communities are small and friendly, most with a sense of history dating back to the days when railroads and mining were their reasons for being.

Tax Rates in Centre County Property owners in each of Centre County’s municipalities pay a county real estate tax of 7.84 mills, plus a millage rate charged by their municipality and school district. Wages also are taxed by the municipality and school district in which a person lives. A transfer tax is imposed on the selling price of real estate in Pennsylvania; a tax equal to 1 percent of the selling price goes to the state, and a tax totaling (in most cases) 1 percent is divided between the municipality and the school district. In addition, many municipalities charge a local services tax of $10 to $52 on people who work in the municipality.

Bald Eagle Area
Many Milesburg homes have mature landscaping, including big shade trees.
The small town of Snow Shoe is tucked away in rural Centre County but convenient to Interstate 80.
1 Clarence Right next door to Snow Shoe is Clarence, with two-story and ranch houses lining Clarence Road as it heads north toward Sproul State Forest. Back in the 1800s, coal mines brought Scottish and then Slovakian immigrants here and, although the mines are gone, European family names still are abundant. 2 Howard Many Centre County residents
know Howard as the gateway to Bald Eagle State Park, with a large lake for boating and new Nature Inn. The borough also is a thriving residential community. Howard is a friendly town that prides itself on its relaxed atmosphere and proximity to many recreational areas as well as a pumpkin-chucking festival in the fall. Howard Elementary School is here.
56
Town&Gown’s 2016-2017 Guide to Neighborhoods
3 Julian The small Huston Township village of Julian is located just off U.S. Rte. 220 and bordering Bald Eagle Creek. Julian is the gateway to the large recreational area of Black Moshannon State Park. It’s also just 11 miles from State College, allowing simple rural living with a scenic commute on the Julian Pike. The Eagle Creek and Hillside developments are here. 4 Milesburg
This borough grew up as a transportation center at the confluence of Spring and Bald Eagle creeks, used for barge traffic hundreds of years ago. Today, the boat traffic is gone, but the creeks remain popular for fly-fishing. Close to an Interstate 80 exit, homes in Milesburg range from historic buildings in the center of town to the popular affordable neighborhoods of Confer Development and Breon’s Court. Milesburg Community Park offers picnic pavillions and playgrounds.
5 Moshannon This Snow Shoe Township
village serves as the junction to Sproul State Forest, state game lands, and the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. Formerly a mill town, Moshannon primarily features pleasant homes with front porches that welcome neighbors to stop by.
6 Pine Glen This village is named after the trees that attracted lumber companies here more than 150 years ago. Several streets of homes date to the 1950s, when a research and development arm of the Curtis-Wright Corporation was planned near here. Houses are on large lots and are primarily single-unit, plus a handful of unique X-shaped quadplex homes. Pine Glen has a township park.

7 Port Matilda Squire Clement Beckwith
laid out this town in 1850 and named it after his daughter, Matilda. The “Port” part of the name was wishful thinking, since the Pennsylvania Canal never made it here. Today, the Borough of Port Matilda is at the crossroads of U.S. routes 322 and 220 and Interstate 99, anchored by a market, tavern, post office, Port Matilda Community Park, and Port Matilda Elementary School. Homes range from older bungalows to ranch homes built over the past few decades.

“A tradition of caring and a legacy of service.”
8 Snow Shoe
Snow Shoe grew in the 1800s thanks to coal mines, the railroad, and the area’s popularity as a mountaintop summer resort for Bellefonte townspeople. Today, business centers around the Interstate 80 exit, including a Federal Express center. “Downtown” Snow Shoe is stacked on a hillside with both historic and newer homes. The Mountaintop Area Elementary School, Mountain Top Field, and Mountaintop Area Medical Center are here.
9 Unionville Dating to 1848, Unionville sits at the base of two mountain ridges, with both the Rattlesnake Pike and Unionville Pike winding their way up from the town. Bald Eagle Creek flows through town, making for picturesque yards among the modest homes scattered here. 10 Wingate Transportation has been key
to the development of Wingate, which sits in Boggs Township at the intersection of Wallace Run and Bald Eagle Creek, routes 220 and 144, and the Bellefonte & Snow Shoe Railroad and the Bald Eagle Railroad. Several streets of modest homes are near Bald Eagle High School and Wingate Elementary, and the Mountain Valley Diner is among a handful of businesses that cater to residents and travelers. n

Bellefonte Borough Alissa Pendorf
Curtin and Linn streets are lined with historic homes in a variety of architectural styles.
1 Curtin & Linn Streets
Most of the historic homes Bellefonte is known for are on Curtin and Linn streets, within the National Register Historic District. Once home to ironmasters, industrialists, and other members of Bellefonte’s elite in the late 1800s, the area is now a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood of mainly restored large homes and bed-andbreakfasts. Among the architectural styles represented here are Gothic Italianate, Victorian, and Greek Revival. The oldest homes are closest to Allegheny Street; at the far northeast end, smaller brick homes are just 60 to 70 years old. Prices vary here depending on the level of restoration.
60
Town&Gown 2016-2017 Guide to Neighborhoods
2 Downtown
Most of downtown Bellefonte, from Curtin Street to Logan and from Water Street to Ridge, is in the National Register Historic District. Some of the fine homes in this area now house businesses or organizations; for example, the Georgian-style John Blair Linn home on Allegheny Street is now the Bellefonte Art Museum, and the 1815 MilesPorter home half a block away is the Centre County Library & Historical Museum. Although some of these 10- to 20-room houses have been divided into apartments, others have been lovingly restored to single-unit homes.
3 East End
Consisting mainly of Center Street, this small neighborhood lies off PA Rte. 550 in northeast Bellefonte, across from the entrance to Parkview Heights. These modest homes are convenient to Bellefonte Area High School and Governors Park.
4 Halfmoon Hill
As the name indicates, this neighborhood sits on a hill overlooking Bellefonte from the southwest. This development includes a good mixture of smaller ranches, Cape Cods, and two-stories built around the 1950s and ’60s. Part of the neighborhood extends into Spring Township.
5 McAllister
This neighborhood, extending for several blocks around McAllister Street between Howard and Bishop, has the friendly sidewalks of the downtown area and larger yards of the suburbs. Built about 50 years ago, homes here represent a variety of styles and are mainly brick and well kept. Bordered by the expansive grounds of Bellefonte Middle School, the neighborhood has an open atmosphere.
6 North End Bounded by Beaver, Wilson, and Linn streets, this area includes the newer homes of Curtin and Linn streets — newer meaning mid-twentieth century, rather than late nineteenth century. The neighborhood features delightful brick ranches and Cape Cods, sidewalks for strolling and for meeting friendly neighbors, and large yards. 7 Parkview Heights
One of the largest developments in the Bellefonte area, Parkview Heights has a wide variety of home styles built anywhere from the 1950s through the ’90s. Some residences overlook or have easy access to Teener League fields and the local playground. Homes in this northeastern part of town sell mainly in mid- to high Bellefonte market ranges, depending on size, age, and location.
8 Parkview Heights Estates Newer homes of at least 1,800 square feet sit on one-third to one-half acre lots in a subdivision developed by Pinehurst Homes. The neighborhood is set among stands of mature trees, with natural walkways and access to the Teener League fields and playground. Just 1.5 miles from an Interstate 99/Rte. 220 exit, this is a great location for State College commuters.

9 Rainbow Village This pleasant devel-
opment of primarily ranches and Cape Cods is close to Bellefonte Area High School. Built in the ’50s and ’60s, these well-maintained homes have good-sized yards with mature trees and landscaping, all at a reasonable price.
10 South Thomas Street
This hidden gem is tucked away off High/Halfmoon Street in southwestern Bellefonte. The street is only about two blocks long, but it’s home to some beautiful Victorian houses that have been carefully restored. South Thomas is a narrow, one-way street heading north, so drivers must enter via St. Paul Street, also one-way but heading south. n

Harris Township Alissa Pendorf
8 The Gates A new condominium community
nestled at the base of Tussey Mountain near historic Boalsburg, this developing neighborhood of 155 townhomes is built by Berks Homes and offers two styles of three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom townhomes starting in the upper $100,000s. The Gates is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts but offers convenient access to State College and U.S. 322. New units available.
9 Harris Acres The large homes here are mostly color coordinated in charming brick and siding, but in every style imaginable. Large lots feature plenty of mature landscaping, including spectacular evergreens. Vehicles have limited access to the community from South Atherton Street (Business Rte. 322), and Harris Acres is near Meyer Dairy and Hills Plaza. It is in both College and Harris townships.
Located outside of the village of Boalsburg, Bear Meadows boasts grand views of Penns Valley and Tussey Mountain, inlcuding the ski slopes.
1 Aspen Heights This development can 4 Brookside only be described as grand — a steep slope of wide-open spaces dotted with impressive homes in a variety of styles. The lots are huge, with endless vistas of the rural countryside. This neighborhood features some of the largest homes in the area. The entrance is across from Mountain View Country Club.
2 Bear Meadow Village These huge and
gorgeous homes are as impressive as those at Aspen Heights. Built of brick, stone, and discreet wood siding, these distinctive homes rest on nicely landscaped lots looking down to the valley and up to Tussey Mountain ski slopes next door. Building lots available.
3 Boalsburg David Boal founded this village
in 1798. Though Memorial Day was observed for the first time nationally in 1868, Boalsburg claims to have started the holiday locally in 1864. The quaint village is also home to mementos inherited by Christopher Columbus’ descendants and the Boal family. Boalsburg life revolves around “the Diamond,” with its historic houses, eateries, and shops. The village is home to the Pennsylvania Military Museum, Blue Spring Park, and the Stan Yoder Memorial Preserve. Events include the Peoples’ Choice Arts Festival and the Memorial Day celebration.
80 Town&Gown’s 2016-2017 Guide to Neighborhoods
This is a well-established neighborhood just east of historic Boalsburg, with plenty of pretty little ranch homes in a variety of colors. Trees shade this neighborhood of modestly priced homes.
5 Country Place Across U.S. Rte. 322 from Brookside, this neighborhood climbs the lower slopes of Tussey Mountain. Many styles of mid-sized split-levels take advantage of the land and vistas, with some multi-unit residences farther up the hill. Country Place Park is here. 6 Elksview This 50-unit townhouse commu-
nity next to the Mountain View Country Club features three-bedroom units with one-car garages and great vistas of Tussey Mountain and Mount Nittany.
7 Fairfield A lot of thought went into plan-
ning this development of 58 larger homes. The entrance off Rte. 45 is lovely, as is the rest of the landscaping. Home styles include contemporary and traditional models on lots from half an acre to one acre, many with mature trees. Connects to Harris Acres.
10 The Hill Perched above the Pennsylvania Military Museum is Boalsburg’s “newer historic neighborhood” — a large and well-established area with ranches, Cape Cods, and modest twostory homes. Saint Joseph’s Catholic Academy and Nittany View Park are here. 11 Huntridge Manor About 50 homes are in this newer neighborhood next to Mountain View Country Club off Rte. 45 near Boalsburg. The generous lots start at an acre, and five homes front the golf course. The rolling land gives each home a vista of the surrounding mountains and valley, as well as Tussey Mountain ski slopes. 12 Kaywood I & II Developed over the past few decades, this neighborhood off Rte. 45 features a wide variety of home styles on heavily wooded lots in the older section, plus new homes with great views. Tucked at the edge of the neighborhood is Kaywood Park, with a playground and stone picnic pavilion. 13 Laurel Hills Each of approximately 35 custom homes here will be designed to take best advantage of the lot’s panoramic vista of Tussey Mountain Ski Area and the surrounding valley. On a par with neighboring Bear Meadow Village, the second phase of this community is under development. Lots are 0.684 to 1.225 acres. Building lots available.
Alissa Pendorf
17 Nittany Grove This 26-home neighborhood, which dates to the late 1960s, is expanding to include a total of 54 homes. Amenities will include mulched walking trails and a pavilion/ gathering area. Building lots available. 18 Panorama Village
This neat and friendly neighborhood consists mainly of modest ranch-style homes on smaller wooded lots. Tucked back in the development (in College Township) is Mount Nittany Elementary School, with its soccer and baseball fields. Panorama Village is in both College and Harris townships.
19 Rockey Ridge This panoramic new
development with easy access to the Rte. 322 bypass connects the well-established neighborhoods of Aspen Heights and Kaywood. A thoughtful design takes advantage of the 50-percent green-space requirement so almost every home site backs up to open space. The mix of lot sizes, all with spectacular vistas of Tussey or Nittany mountain, will allow construction of homes in a wide price range. Building lots available.
Rockey Ridge is convenient to both State College shopping and the recreation opportunities of Rothrock State Forest and Tussey Mountain Resort.

Patton Township 29 Valley Vista Park Since around 1980, Valley Vista Park has offered a pleasing alternative to town-home living. These cozy, single-unit homes on small lots are charming and affordable. Instead of sidewalks in front, paths meander through the woods in back of the homes. 30 The Village at Penn State
Formed in partnership with Penn State, this one-of-a-kind community features Collegiate Station, Honors Crossing, Ivy Ridge, and Tradition Point single-family homes; Tradition Cove single-family condominiums; Mascot Cove multi-family condos; Homecoming Ridge townhomes; and Varsity Hollow duplex townhomes. Residents have access to amenities including community center and clubhouse, pool, fitness center, Bryce Jordan Center VIP seating, and PSU discounts. Building lots/ new units available.
The expansive Gray’s Woods planned community includes such neighborhoods as Brynwood, Deerbrook, Graysdale, and Marywood.
22 Ridgemont
This is basically a horseshoe-shaped development on Harvard Road, off U.S. 322 near I-99. Older ranch homes mix with newer two-story homes. The neighborhood shares a park with swings and a basketball court. Prices are lower to mid-range, with the bonus of a vista of neighboring mountain ridges.
23 Saddle Rock This prestigious development of larger homes on estate-size lots is set on rolling hills with panoramic vistas. Lot sizes range from two to 36 acres. The quality can be compared with Aspen Heights or Bear Meadows Village in Harris Township. The neighborhood is off Rte. 550 in the Buffalo Run Valley. 24 Spring Hollow Estates Near Pantops and Echo Hills, 16 acres of this picturesque farm have been divided into nine lots following rural preservation design standards.
25 Stablehill
Built in the late 1980s, these three-story townhomes with carports are convenient to North Atherton Street shopping and next door to Marjorie Mae Park.

26 Timberton
Just off Rte. 550, this development features 20 single-unit residences on half-acre wooded parcels. Lawn care and snow removal are taken care of through a homeowners’ association fee, making living easy in this rural neighborhood with beautiful mountain vistas, near the new Bernel Road Park. Building lots available.
27 Toftrees
Toftrees was Pennsylvania’s first planned community, built primarily in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The community features a country club with an 18-hole golf course, plus a bed-and-breakfast, bars, restaurants, and hotel. It is convenient to the Mount Nittany Expressway and Penn State. Housing includes single-unit homes, townhomes, and apartments.
28 The Valley In this forested haven off Circleville Road, mature trees surround residences built in recent decades. The homes, many with natural wood siding, seem to blend into their woodsy landscapes.
31 Vista Woods This extension of Valley Vista Park feels off the beaten path but has easy access to Interstate 99. The development features affordable homes on small lots and includes a little playground. The newest section is Whisper Ridge. 32 Wildernest Built in the ’80s, Wildernest homes are sited on larger lots with rolling hills. Styles and exteriors have blended nicely, including some natural stone and wood. 33 Windtryst Village There are two great reasons to live here besides the cozy 16-home size of this rural development. If you do a lot of traveling, you’re just a hop from the University Park Airport. If you work at Penn State, you can sneak in the “back way” past Toftrees on Fox Hollow Road. 34 Wooded Hills
Thirty-two single-unit homes are planned for this new development near the bend where Fox Hollow Road becomes Fox Hill Road. The neighborhood is just down the road from University Park Airport. Building lots available.
35 Woodycrest This neighborhood is between Wal-Mart and The Colonnade plaza off North Atherton Street. It holds affordably priced homes, Wood’s Edge and Fredericksburg Court townhomes, and apartments, plus Woodycrest Park. n

Penns Valley Area
Homes in the Stonefield neighborhood share expansive views of the surrounding mountain ridges.
1 Aaronsburg Because of the site’s location near the geographic center of Pennsylvania, founder Aaron Levy laid out a wide central street here back in 1786, hoping Aaronsburg would be named the state capital. Of course, Harrisburg won that honor, but Aaronsburg still shows traces of its original stature. Many historic homes here have been restored, and the Federal-style Aaronsburg Inn attracts visitors looking to get away from it all. 2 Alirry Ridge Outside of Centre Hall off
Rte. 192, a handful of new larger homes grace the winding Dennis Alan Circle as it heads up a gentle rise. These homes sit on 10-plus-acre lots, with long driveways lined with young trees that promise shaded lanes in the future. Horses are permitted.

State College Borough
The Borough of State College is home to two residential historic districts — Holmes-Foster/Highlands and College Heights.
1 Amitie This 6-acre complex on Stratford Drive is close to the YMCA, Orchard Park, Welch Pool, and State College Area High School. Built in the mid-’70s, Amitie I and Amitie II are apartment-style condominiums offering natural gas heat, private patios/decks, on-site laundry, and a variety of floor plans.
2 College Heights The first homes here were
built in the late 1880s as the young college next door began to grow, and additional building spurts occurred in the 1920s and 1940s. Mature trees shade the homes here, which include colonial revival, Tudor revival, and bungalow/craftsman styles. North Atherton Street divides the area into West College Heights and East College Heights, which has more rental homes. Now a National Register Historic District, the neighborhood is also home to Radio Park Elementary School and Sunset Park, and the Penn State Arboretum borders the eastern edge. The area has a neighborhood association.
3 College Heights North This small new
development extends on a gently curving road from the tree-lined streets of College Heights, close to North Atherton Street, and includes single-unit homes and duplex homes. College Heights North is in both the borough and Ferguson Township.

Town&Gown’s 2016-2017 Guide to Neighborhoods
4 Downtown With a variety of floor plans, prices, and amenities, these high-rise properties offer an easy walk to restaurants, shopping, and the Penn State campus. Some offer 24-hour security and parking garages. A variety of floor plans, prices, and amenities are available at: Ambassador, Atherton House, Barcroft Condos, Beaver Plaza, Beaver Terrace, Hetzel Plaza, Midtown Square, Pepper Mill, Regency Square, The Towers, University Gateway, and University Towers.
7 Holmes-Foster One of the oldest in the borough and very proud of its heritage, HolmesFoster is part of the Holmes-Foster/Highlands National Register Historic District. The neighborhood is the namesake of the borough’s oldest park and is up the hill from Community Field’s ball fields and tennis courts. Homes range from small bungalows built to house a long-ago influx of Penn State students and faculty to larger, stately homes built by community leaders.
5 Greentree The area spreading out from State
8 Hunters Ridge These condominium-style homes are at the corner of Blue Course and Stratford drives. With the added enjoyment of a clubhouse and pool, this neighborhood provides a relaxing yet active way of life close to High Point Park.
College Area High School features single-unit homes in a variety of styles along shaded streets, including the smaller Shamrock Estates development. Aarus Townhomes are in the neighborhood as well. Orchard Park winds through the area to Welch Pool. Our Lady of Victory Church and school are here.
6 Highlands Making up half of the
Holmes-Foster/Highlands National Register Historic District, this well-established neighborhood is south of Penn State and the downtown business district. It is populated with a mix of residences, apartments, and impressive fraternity houses. Many professional offices and small shops share the cross-streets. The area includes historic mail-order houses as well as high-rise apartments. The Highlands has a neighborhood association and is close to Fairmount School, Friedman Parklet, Memorial Field, and Fairmount Park.
9 Nittany Hills Just off Branch Road, this neighborhood of larger homes looks over Slab Cabin Run and is adjacent to Centre Hills Country Club and golf course. 10 Penfield An attractive neighborhood perched on the hills between State College South and Centre Hills Country Club, this area of nice single-unit homes is accessible to Hills Plaza and South Atherton Street. Though convenient, it seems away from it all with shaded streets and pretty vistas.
11 South Hills This pretty neighborhood lies
to the south of South Atherton Street and north of the University Drive extension. It includes the area near South Hills and Lytle avenues where pioneering developer Al Hawbaker built about 80 modest homes. The borough annexed South Hills in 1946. Nittany Village Park and South Hills Park are here.
12 State College South In 1930, the borough annexed a large, V-shaped part of College Township, now forming much of the borough’s south area. Included was Manor Hills, a development of Eugene and Lucy Lederer that stretched from Garner Street to Centre Hills Country Club. Lederer Park, off University Drive, is named for the family. Another part of State College South is the Lytle Addition, annexed in 1932 and roughly bordered by Crestmont and Old Boalsburg roads, Cross Avenue, and Atherton Street. This pleasant residential area is now home to Hamilton Square shopping center and Easterly Parkway Elementary School. The area has a neighborhood association. Smithfield Park is here. 13 State College Southwest This area
is popular for apartment complexes such as Briarwood, Lion’s Gate, Imperial Towers, and The Retreat, all near Westerly Parkway Plaza, South Hills School of Business & Technology, and the State College YMCA. Also here are townhomes such as Maple Village, Roundhay Court, and Shamrock Townhomes, as well as a few single-unit homes.
14 Urban Village Most of the sturdy brick
homes north of West College Avenue have been converted into apartments and rooms for students. The area is home to the bus station, originally a Railway Express depot. The neighborhood is close to Penn State’s golf courses and west campus.
15 Vallamont Farmland for this neighborhood was purchased in 1955 from the Moses Thompson estate and the Centre Furnace lands. It was the first truly upscale development of architect-designed homes in the borough, developed by H.O. Smith & Sons. This neighborhood is close to Lederer Park, Walnut Springs Park, and Thompson Woods Preserve. A neighborhood association helps care for residents’ concerns. 16 Way Subdivision This area just north
of the University Drive extension is made up of newer single-unit homes. This subdivision shares space with Foxdale Village retirement community, State College Friends School, and Courtyard by Marriott. Tusseyview Park is nearby. n Town&Gown’s 2016-2017 Guide to Neighborhoods
