Lilly is a rail‑rooted borough in Cambria County with a relaxed pace, tree‑lined streets, and easy access to regional hubs like Cresson, Altoona, Ebensburg, and Johnstown. Its location places residents near historic rail corridors and scenic highlands, so weekend plans can swing from small‑town ballgames to mountain views in a few minutes.
Outdoors lovers appreciate how close Lilly is to the Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site, where trails and exhibits bring early American engineering to life at the Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site. Water, woods, and miles of shoreline await at Prince Gallitzin State Park, while quiet backroads lead into the mixed hardwoods of Gallitzin State Forest. Commuters and students benefit from regional transit via CamTran, making trips to work, shopping, and colleges straightforward.
Families are served by the Penn Cambria School District, known for tight classroom communities and a wide slate of activities.
