Town&Gown’s Guide to Centre County Neighborhoods

Welcome to Centre County!

We would like to familiarize you with many of the wonderful attributes that we believe make Centre County a great place to work and live. You will hear many things from people living here: an appreciation of our beautiful setting with its green mountains and valleys, our low crime rate, top-notch schools, inspiring arts and entertainment, the great resources and exciting sports programs offered by Penn State, and our low unemployment rate. The fact is that most people come here and love it! It is truly Happy Valley.

The Centre County Association of REALTORS® partners with Barash Media to research and publish Town&Gown’s Guide to Neighborhoods. Inside you will find descriptions of towns and neighborhoods throughout Centre County. We also have included information about school districts, tax rates, parks, and other factors that may be important to you while visiting our area and making your home-hunting decisions.

I encourage you to investigate all of Centre County, from State College to Snow Shoe; from Bellefonte to Philipsburg; from Port Matilda to Millheim, and all the different villages and neighborhoods in between and within those areas. Whether you want the hustle and bustle of “intown” living, the friendliness of a suburban development, or the peace and quiet of rural areas, Centre County has what you want.

This guide is just a starting point. The members of the Centre County Association of REALTORS® — now in their 52nd year of serving Centre County — stand ready to assist you in finding the perfect area for your home in Centre County. At www.happyvalleyhomes.org, you will find additional information such as regional market data, tax information, upcoming open houses, resources for affordable and workforce housing, a listing of the offices and REALTORS® who are ready to assist you, and much more. We invite you to call any of our local REALTORS® and allow them to be your guide through the process of buying your next home.

Once you make this area home, you can start to share with your friends and family what YOU love about living in Centre County!

Quality of Life

Once you get a good view of all that Centre County has to offer, we know you'll love it here.

14 Town&Gown’s 2014-2015 Guide to Neighborhoods

Tussey Mountain Resort offers skiing and snowboarding in winter.

seum 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

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.

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. Move into 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 holds a fall festival full of tempting treats. State College turns into an outdoor mu-

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 46,184 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 dozens of scheduled 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 155,000 people live in Centre County. (Of course, that’s still only 140 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 2014-2015 Guide to Neighborhoods 15

New in Centre County

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.

On Penn State’s University Park campus, hockey fans celebrated the opening of the new Pegula Ice Arena and multipurpose facility in fall 2013. The 200,000-squarefoot, 6,000-seat arena features two ice sheets, a 5,000-square-foot weight room, hydrotherapy training room, steam room, team lounge, and locker room. In addition to being home ice for the men’s and women’s hockey teams, the arena is used for public skating sessions, community skating programs, and sport camps.

Several new apartment complexes opened over the past year in State College, primarily targeting university students: The Retreat, The Heights, The Villas at Happy Valley, The Legacy, and The Grove. Penn State also is renovating its 55-year-old South Halls dormitories.

Among the newest restaurants to begin seating customers over the past year are Quaker Steak & Lube on the Benner Pike, near the Nittany Mall, and Happy Valley Brewing Company, outside Lemont. Home D Pizzeria expanded with the in-house Robin Hood Brewing Company and a popular outdoor seating area.

In the busy North Atherton Street corridor, the Trader Joe’s complex expanded with the addition of cosmetic superstore Ulta, a Gap outlet, Old Navy, and Men’s Wearhouse, in addition to the eclectic grocery store and Pier 1 Imports.

The State College area has an extensive system of parks and recreation facilities, operated by Centre

The Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Center at Mount Nittany Medical Center.

Region Parks and Recreation. Phase I construction has begun for the Oak Hall regional park, which will feature softball fields, picnic pavilions, dog park, sledding hill, perimeter trail, and more.

The draft plan for the Whitehall Road regional park includes sport fields, picnic pavilions, tennis complex, dog park, preserved woodlot, and trailhead for the Musser Gap bikeway. CRPR recently completed extensive renovations of both the Park Forest and Welch swimming complexes, with competition pools, leisure pools, and water slides.

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 continues its expansion with a one-acre children’s garden. The $3.6 million garden is intended to help children and adults understand their connections to nature and the environment. Educational programs for children ages 3 to 12 will focus on Pennsylvania’s landscape, plants, and animals.

Also on campus, a 45,000-square-foot addition to the Intramural Building was approaching completion in spring 2014,

featuring expanded fitness space and multipurpose rooms. A new Health and Human Development Building is under construction, as well as a major expansion to the Hetzel Union Building, to feature additional student activity office space and retail opportunities.

In the health care arena, Geisinger Health Systems recently doubled the size of its Gray’s Woods medical center with a new ambulatory surgery center. Mount Nittany Medical Center — the county’s major acute-care hospital — opened its expanded emergency department and the Lance and Ellen Shaner Cancer Center.

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 each year. Centre County consistently posts the lowest unemployment rate in Pennsylvania, due in large part to the stability of our largest employer. Also, Penn State conducts more than $780 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 41.3 percent of residents age 25 and older hold at least a bachelor’s degree. Plus, in addition to teaching those 46,184 students here, Penn State helps educate our community — and others across the state — through the largest outreach 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 ice-cream making.

Penn State’s 5,548-acre University Park Although the University Park campus is Penn campus is a focal point for State College and Centre County.

State’s main campus, it’s also just one of many.

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 world-class art (the Palmer Museum of Art) to bugs (the Frost Entomological Museum).

This year alone, we could attend Eisenhower Auditorium performances including West Side Story, Beauty and the Beast, and Bring It On: The Musical. We also tuned in to performers like Jason Aldean, Bill Maher, and Lauryn Hill 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 29 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 155,171 residents!

State College is the population center of Centre County, mainly because of the 46,184 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 contributes more than $600 million to the local economy

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®

www.happyvalleyhomes.org 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 countybased 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 nointerest, 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 $66,800. For an individual, the income limit is $46,800.

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

Affordable Housing Under Development

A State College Community Land Trust home

Among the latest efforts to grow the stock of affordable housing in the Centre Region are: • Limerock Terrace is a new 36-unit, low-income community near the East College Avenue Giant shopping center, built with the help of about $1 million in tax credits and $2 million construction funding from the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency. The development features two- and three-bedroom apartments plus a community center.

• The Borough of State College has developed a new Homestead Investment Program, tasked mainly with turning rental properties near the Penn State campus into owner-occupied 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.

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 150 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.

Huston Township

Students in the Bald Eagle Area School District attend five schools: 1. Bald Eagle High School (grades 9-12; grades 6-8 are Bald Eagle Middle School, in the same building) 2. Howard Elementary School 3. Mountaintop Elementary School 4. Port Matilda Elementary School 5. Wingate Elementary School

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, most municipalities charge a $52 emergency and municipal services tax on people who work in the municipality and earn more than $5,200 a year.

Bald Eagle Area

Many Milesburg homes have mature landscaping, including big shade trees.

The Port Matilda area has homes in both the Bald Eagle and State College school districts.

1 Clarence Right next door to Snow Shoe is Clarence, with two-story and ranch houses lining Rte. 144 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 2014-2015 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.

Bald Eagle State Park offers 5,900 acres of outdoor recreation.

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.

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 53, 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

Homes in the East End neighborhood feature mature landscaping.

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 50 to 60 years old. Prices vary here depending on the level of restoration.

60 Town&Gown 2014-2015 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, extend-

ing 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 restored over the past decade. 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

Linden Hall is a quiet, old-fashioned village tucked away from the hustle and bustle of town.

1 Aspen Heights This development can 5 Country Place Across U.S. Rte. 322 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.

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.

4 Brookside 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.

80 Town&Gown’s 2014-2015 Guide to Neighborhoods

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 community next to the Mountain View Country Club features three-bedroom units with one-car garages and great vistas of Tussey Mountain and Mount Nittany.

New units available.

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.

8 The Gates Nestled at the base of Tussey

Mountain, next to historic Boalsburg, is Harris Township’s newest affordable neighborhood.

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.

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.

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.

20 Shingletown The farther you drive

into Shingletown, the more heavily wooded it is, until you end up in deep forest on the slopes of Tussey Mountain, with trees shading a few tucked-away homes. Varied styles include a log cabin, chalet, farmhouses, and Cape Cods.

The community is not far from the John Hess Softball Field Complex.

In beautiful Brush Valley, Madisonburg is a village of both historic and newer homes.

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.

Philipsburg-Osceola Area 9 Osceola Mills This small town straddles both the Centre/Clearfield county line and Moshanon Creek. Older, modest homes are affordably priced, with some dating to the days when mills still operated. The town is home to Osceola Mills Elementary School.

The Glass City area features both modest and larger homes

1 Arctic Springs This new development of larger homes is perfect for anyone looking for both a brand-new home and a retreat-like setting. Arctic Springs lies off Rte. 504 next to state game lands, with homes taking advantage of a hilly, wooded setting.

2 Black Moshannon Located at the entrance to Black Moshannon State Park, homeowners in this area can hike, bike, or snowmobile right from their back doors. Both year-round homes and vacation homes are here.

3 Chestnut Ridge Estates This new

50-home development sits off Route 322 in the Philipsburg-Osceola School District. Lots of 0.31 to 1 acre include all underground utilities and cable. Building lots available.

4 Curtis Park Established in 1921, this neighborhood centers around Curtis Street, a boulevard made scenic by a divider of mature trees running up the middle. The oldest homes are closest to Rte. 350, spreading up the hill toward Philipsburg-Osceola Senior High. These homes are primarily brick.

6 Laurel Hill Little more than half a dozen homes are spaced on large wooded lots around Laurel Hill Drive off Rte. 504. These beautiful homes are predominantly frame and log structures. The development lies at the edge of Moshannon State Forest, a few miles from Mid-State Airport.

7 Linnwood Just off Rte. 350 in Rush

Township, this expansive neighborhood will include about 140 homes when all five phases are complete. A variety of home styles — mainly in larger sizes — are scattered on wooded, good-sized lots. Homes are served by public water. Building lots available.

8 North Run Off Beaver Road, which

runs along Black Moshannon Lake, is this neighborhood of 1.6- to 2.5-acre wooded parcels, convenient to the 3,394 acres of Black Moshannon State Park and the surrounding state forest.

11 Philips Heights Basically consisting

of Scott and Pauline streets, this popular neighborhood is close to Philipsburg-Osceola Senior High. As the name suggests, Philips Heights sits atop a hill, with vistas toward the center of town and beyond.

12 Sandy Ridge This Rush Township town surrounds the crossroads of routes 350 and 970.

Varied smaller homes abound along the side streets, anchored by a market, auto dealership, and two small churches. Sandy Ridge history dates to the 1860s, when a brick works was established here.

13 South Philipsburg With streets extending from Rte. 250 in both directions, South Philipsburg is home to many people looking for a convenient location with small-town values.

14 Sunset Acres This U-shaped street of about 30 homes includes split-levels, ranches, and a few Cape Cods, all built several decades ago. The hilly site allows for nice vistas from porches and decks, while nearby Rte. 350 offers easy access to town and beyond. n

5 Glass City Just south of Philipsburg

off Route 350, this secluded neighborhood is close to Cold Stream and State Game Lands.

Both vacation and year-round residences were built here in the 1950s.

Many homes in Linnwood feature mature landscaping, even though the neighborhood is still under development.

92 Town&Gown’s 2014-2015 Guide to Neighborhoods

10 Philipsburg Founded in 1797, Philipsburg tells its history through the many home styles that line its shaded streets. From stately 1800s homes to sturdy houses of the early 1900s to modern ranches, split-levels, and more, Philipsburg is appealing to a wide variety of residents. Cold Stream Dam Park is at the northeastern edge of town.

Across Moshannon Creek is the neighboring borough of Chester Hill in Clearfield County.

State College Borough

The historic Holmes-Foster neighborhood is convenient to downtown State College and the Penn State campus.

The Greentree area lives up to its name, with plenty of shade trees throughout the neighborhood.

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.

94 Town&Gown’s 2014-2015 Guide to Neighborhoods

3 College Heights North This small 6 Highlands Making up half of the 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.

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 24hour 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.

5 Greentree The area spreading out from State 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.

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 mailorder 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.

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.

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.

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, Ruby Tuesday restaurant, and Courtyard by Marriott. Tusseyview Park is nearby. n
