Why Live in State College

State College, Pennsylvania, is a compact college town centered around Penn State University’s main campus, where the year-round population of about 40,000 more than doubles when students return each fall. The university is the area’s major employer and shapes daily life, from Division I football gamedays that swell downtown crowds to access to facilities like the Penn State Golf Courses and the Arboretum at Penn State. Housing ranges from condos and townhouses downtown to Foursquares, bungalows and Neoclassical homes in Highlands and Holmes-Foster, with late 20th-century ranch-style homes in areas like Greentree and State College South. Residents describe it as a quirky place, with home prices generally higher than the state average but still below those in larger cities. Families often look to the State College Area School District, which is highly rated and includes multiple elementary and middle schools plus State College Area High, known for a strong graduation rate and career and technical programs. Downtown State College is busy with college bars, cafes, shops and the State Theatre, and hosts things to do like the Central Pennsylvania Festival for the Arts, Pop Up Ave flea market and a weekly farmers market. Outdoor recreation is close by, with well-maintained walking and biking trails, neighborhood parks, and Tussey Mountain ski resort about 5 miles away. Four distinct seasons bring warm summers and cold winters with around 45 inches of annual snowfall.
