Tusseyview's quiet community is near Penn State
Tusseyville, a mile from downtown State College, includes a popular retirement village. “Foxdale Village is a huge Quaker-run organization for retirees and for people who need care in their elderly years,” says Peter Chiarkas, a real estate agent with Kissinger Bigatel & Bower Realtors. "There’s a long waiting list to try to get in there. It is a sought-after place to be.”
The State College Friends Meeting, a local Quaker community organization, started making plans to build the village in 1985. Now, Foxdale is a neatly organized campus with quick access to downtown and The Pennsylvania State University, without the bustling activity of a college campus. “Tusseyview is far enough removed from campus that you should not run into many students in these neighborhoods,” says Larry Walker, associate broker and partner with Kissinger Bigatel & Bower Realtors.
Tusseyview is adjacent to Pennsylvania farmlands offering scenic overlooks from residences.
Foxdale Village has beautiful flowers throughout the community in Tusseyview.

Shopping and dining on South Atherton and Westerly Parkway Plaza
The community is bordered by South Atherton Street, a commercial hub in the area, with fast-food restaurants and strip malls. Hills Plaza, which has a Giant grocery store and a Weis Market, is also along South Atherton. “On the south side of town,” says Chiarkas. “Faccia Luna is phenomenal. They’ll fly in fresh seafood; they fly it in fresh every week. They have different fresh fish and the best pizza in town.” Faccia Luccia Pizzeria is a local favorite directly across from Tusseyview and has served the area since 1991. Near State College Area High School, bordering the neighborhood, is Westerly Parkway Plaza, a shopping mall with a Weis Market, a fitness center and a comic book store.

Berkey Creamery before the big game
The most popular season in State College is football season. Fans pack into Beaver Stadium to cheer on the Nittany Lions from August to December. Before or after the game, attendees stop by the Berkey Creamery at Penn State for creamy, handmade ice cream. The creamery also sells cheese, butter, cream cheese and other milk-based products made from Penn State’s herd of over 200 cows. While football is only for a season, the State College Friends Meeting works year-round and holds committee meetings and presentations on topical issues such as climate change and racial justice. Religious services are held at New Covenant Baptist Church, University Mennonite Church and Islamic Society of Central Pennsylvania.
Berkey Family Creamery has roots in State College and serves Tusseyview with the best ice cream.
