Why Live in Center City

Center City in Altoona, Pennsylvania, is a neighborhood deeply rooted in its railroad history, originally developed for mechanics and railroad workers in the mid-19th century. The area features Victorian-style and American Foursquare homes, many with front porches, pitched roofs, and dormer windows, built around 1910. The Railroaders Memorial Museum, located within the neighborhood, pays homage to Altoona's rich railroad heritage, while the nearby Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art showcases nearly 8,000 American art pieces. The Jaffa Shrine convention center, known locally as "The Jaffa," hosts community events, including a summer concert series and an annual circus. Dining options in and around Center City include Greenbean Coffee House, popular for its drive-through service and sandwiches, and JJ Hadley & Co. Brewers, known for woodfired pizza and a variety of beers and cocktails. Levity Brewing Co. is another nearby spot with an industrial vibe. The neighborhood is also seeing new developments, such as the conversion of the former McCrory’s Department Store into a mixed-use facility with apartments and shops. Prospect Park, the closest green space, offers a playground, basketball court, and fitness equipment, while nearby Valley View County Park provides hiking trails, a disc golf course, and an amphitheater with summer concerts. The Amtrak Altoona station, just outside the neighborhood, connects residents to New York City and Pittsburgh, though it is more suited for occasional trips than daily commutes. Public transit is accessible via Amtran bus stops, and U.S. Interstate 99 is about 3 miles away. The neighborhood is served by the Altoona Area School District.
