Penn Farms. Quiet streets and well-kept homes give this community an easygoing pace, with quick access to everyday essentials and bigger-city energy in nearby Hollidaysburg and Altoona. Weekends often start outdoors: anglers and paddlers head to the lake and limestone streams at Canoe Creek State Park, while miles of trails and winter activities keep the calendar full year-round at the beautifully managed Canoe Creek State Park. Family-friendly fun is close at Lakemont Park, a classic amusement venue that also hosts seasonal festivals and ice skating.
Schools are a strong suit. The Hollidaysburg Area School District offers robust academics, career and technical pathways, and an active arts and athletics scene, complemented by programs and events at the Hollidaysburg Area Public Library. Youth sports leagues, music lessons, and community events are easy to find throughout Blair County, and commuters appreciate straightforward drives to major employers, healthcare at UPMC Altoona, and bus connections via AMTRAN.
Dining ranges from hometown bakeries and coffee bars to locally owned restaurants in Hollidaysburg’s historic district, and shopping corridors in Altoona add big-box convenience. On summer nights, you can catch a ballgame with the Altoona Curve, then be home in minutes.
