A central neighborhood anchored by community organizations
Little League Boulevard is one of the most traveled roads in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, due to its central location just outside of downtown. As a result, the boulevard has deteriorated, with enough cracks and potholes that the city government secured a federal grant to resurface the road in late 2024. Similarly, the surrounding neighborhood boasts proximity to downtown stores and restaurants, but parts of the area have become worn and weathered. Some houses are boarded up and vacant, and property values are far below what’s typical in Williamsport. Still, the neighborhood’s collection of churches, charities and community centers anchors it and helps residents in need.

NBA player brings new basketball courts
Flanigan Park on Little League Boulevard was once considered one of the city’s most worn-down parks, but three new basketball courts were added in 2019. Williamsport native Alize Johnson, who played in the NBA from 2018 to 2023, and his foundation made the $150,000 renovation possible. Flanigan Park is one of the city parks where Johnson played growing up. In addition to the courts, a baseball diamond and a small playground, the park is home to Firetree Place. The nonprofit community center specializes in before- and after-school programs for kids, providing bus transportation to and from schools in the Williamsport Area School District. Just north of Firetree Place, River Valley Regional YMCA members can work out and swim at the nonprofit’s Williamsport branch.
Tasting locals brews and ingredients
Stores and restaurants are more common east of Hepburn Street, where the neighborhood borders downtown. Rosko’s Brew House pours eight house-brewed beers, while The Sawhorse Cafe sources the ingredients for its brunch dishes from more than 20 Pennsylvania farms and businesses. West of Hepburn Street is a Family Dollar and Dolly’s Diner West, a breakfast and lunch spot with three locations in Lycoming County. Shoppers can get groceries from Wegmans supermarket, less than a mile from the neighborhood. Two health care facilities stand to the north and south: UPMC Williamsport is a full-service hospital with an emergency department and River Valley Health is a primary care and dental clinic.

German-style Christmas festivities
Despite its name, Little League Boulevard isn’t the site of the Little League World Series. The annual tournament is played about 2 miles south, drawing nearly 500,000 people to the region every August. It’s not only an opportunity for residents to attend free games to watch the world’s best youth baseball teams but also a boon for local businesses. Restaurants stay open late, and some businesses sell commemorative pins that Little League World Series attendees traditionally collect and trade, says Michaela Henne, administrator of the Williamsport Business Association. Plus, locals can volunteer to work the Little League World Series Complex concession stands and raise money for their organizations of choice. “People come up to our concession stands from around the world,” Henne says. “It’s amazing how universal the word ‘Pepsi’ is.” One neighborhood event debuted in 2024's winter season: a German Christmas Market at Lycoming College. Attendees can snack on roasted nuts, sip spiced cider and shop handmade crafts.
Small homes and rentals
Single-family home designs are typically vintage styles such as late-era Victorians and American Foursquare houses. Homes are crammed together on small lots; there are usually no front yards, and backyards vary from small patches of grass to gravel lots where homeowners park their cars. Prices for turnkey homes start around $75,000, climbing to the mid-$100,000s. The neighborhood’s most expensive properties are the large homes near Brandon Park, which can fetch up to $225,000. The neighborhood is heavy with rentals, including several subsidized housing communities. These Section 8 and public housing communities include high-rise apartment buildings and townhouses.

Students at B-plus-rated Williamsport Area High School can enroll in career and technical education classes to learn skills such as accounting or welding. “I graduated from Williamsport High with a certificate in drafting,” Henne says. “You can essentially leave high school knowing what you’re passionate about.” The neighborhood hosts the elementary campus of St. John Neumann Regional Academy, an A-rated private Catholic school with a campus for sixth through 12th graders a few blocks north. Lycoming College occupies the east end of the neighborhood and students generally keep to the area nearby, especially since the college requires them to live on campus.
