Sickles Corner balances peaceful, country living with quick access to everyday essentials. Tucked into Sinking Valley’s open fields and wooded hillsides, it sits within Blair County and a short drive to both Tyrone and Altoona, making commutes, shopping, and dining straightforward. History buffs and families alike gravitate to Fort Roberdeau’s 18th‑century frontier outpost and seasonal programs, hosted at the county’s beautifully restored site at Fort Roberdeau. Outdoor time comes easy: cast a line or paddle the lake at Canoe Creek State Park, cycle miles of riverside greenway on the Lower Trail, and watch for hawks riding thermals over nearby ridgelines.
Families appreciate that the area is served by the Tyrone Area School District, known for close-knit campuses and robust extracurriculars. Higher education and cultural events are minutes away at Penn State Altoona, while regional healthcare is anchored by UPMC Altoona. Housing options range from farmhouse retreats and roomy ranches to newer builds on generous lots; porches, mountain views, and space for gardens are part of the everyday rhythm here. With the US‑220/I‑99 corridor nearby, weekend getaways, college visits, and hospital appointments remain convenient without giving up the quiet that draws people to the valley.
