Why Live in Hepburn Township
Hepburn Township, located in North Central Pennsylvania, is a rural community with a population of just over 2,500 people. Nestled between State Game Lands and winding creeks, it offers a slower pace of life and abundant natural attractions. Residents enjoy outdoor activities such as hunting in State Game Lands 298, fishing at Rose Valley Lake, and biking along the Lycoming Creek Bikeway. Neil Mutchler Park provides local recreational facilities including a playground, basketball court, and ballfields. The township features rustic single-family homes, including traditional farmhouses, ranch-style homes, and custom-built properties, often situated on at least an acre of land. Unincorporated villages like Balls Mills and Cogan Station have more densely populated areas with ranch-style homes on smaller lots. Hepburn Township boasts a low crime risk, significantly safer than the national average.
The community is served by the highly rated Williamsport Area School District, with Hepburn-Lycoming Primary School, Williamsport Area High School, and St. John Neumann Regional Academy offering quality education. Community events at the Hepburn Township Volunteer Fire Company, such as the spring carnival and annual car show, foster a strong sense of local engagement. For shopping and dining, residents head to nearby Loyalsock Township's Golden Strip or downtown Williamsport, which is about 10 miles away and features restaurants, microbreweries, and entertainment options like the Community Arts Center. Hepburn Township is accessible via Pennsylvania Route 973, U.S. Route 15, and Interstate 80, and is less than 15 miles from Williamsport Regional Airport.
