Why Live in Rupert
Rupert, a small community in Pennsylvania, is located along the Susquehanna River and surrounded by the wooded Susquehanna Lowlands. Founded in 1788, Rupert retains its frontier character with thickly forested hills and panoramic views from hillside homes. With just over 150 residents, Rupert offers a peaceful, secluded lifestyle while being connected to nearby Bloomsburg, only 2.5 miles away, for shopping, schooling, and modern conveniences. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy the Indian Head Campground, which features spacious campgrounds, playgrounds, and historical canal locks. Knoebels Amusement Resort, America's largest free-admission park, is just a 10-minute drive away, providing family-friendly attractions and award-winning rides. Rupert lacks local shopping and dining options, but Bloomsburg offers a variety of stores, supermarkets, and restaurants. The Rupert Covered Bridge, built in 1847, serves as both a historic landmark and a functional crossing. Housing in Rupert is limited, with most homes built in the mid-20th century in Colonial Revival and bungalow styles. The Bloomsburg Area School District provides educational opportunities and extracurricular activities. Public safety is managed by the Montour Township Police Department, with crime rates significantly lower than the national average.
