DuBois grew from its industrial roots into a regional hub
First settled in 1812, DuBois grew around its local lumber and coal mining industries. New settlers, railroads, city buildings and schools followed in the 1800s and 1900s, bringing the population to its height in 1920. Since then, the city has shrunk steadily as job opportunities diminished. Still, the historic pioneer-era town is a gathering point throughout the region. "DuBois has way more restaurants and shops than the other small communities nearby," says Kimberly Kovall, a Realtor with Realty One Group Landmark, born and raised in Clearfield County. "There's more to do downtown, and they have Treasure Lake nearby," she says. "They also have more industry, including Penn Highlands." In DuBois, century-old homes, a major employer, recreation and shopping centers combine to create a welcoming middle ground for those passing through or living nearby.

Modest homes are in town and larger properties are on the outskirts
Early 1900s two-story homes, bungalows and Cape Cods are along the dense, hilly residential streets. The small houses, usually on narrow lots, do not sell often, but have estimated values between $40,000 and $150,000. Some developments with newer homes and more spacious properties are outside the dense city, out by forests and along quiet roads. The ranch-style homes, Colonial Revivals and occasional New Traditional from the 1960s and later have estimated values between $130,000 and $500,000.
According to First Street, residential properties in the area are at moderate risk from flooding. Flood insurance may be required, especially for homes near Sandy Lick Creek.

DuBois has local jobs, bus routes and airport access
Penn Highlands Healthcare has its headquarters and main hospital in DuBois. The Level II Trauma Center is the largest employer in the city, employing over 2,000 people. "Doctors, nurses, physicians and medical professionals move to DuBois to be close to the hospital," Kovall says. "I'd say, in general, people living in DuBois also work in the city rather than commute." Other significant industries include transportation, manufacturing and warehousing. Area Transportation Authority has two routes in DuBois, and Fullington Trailways is an intercity bus system connecting to Harrisburg, State College, Scranton – Wilkes-Barre, Pittsburgh and Buffalo. Interstate 80 is nearby, and DuBois Regional Airport has domestic flights to Pittsburgh International Airport, about 120 miles away.

One of the most popular places to eat is Luigi's Ristorante, a family-owned Italian restaurant that opened its first location in Clymer in 1984.
