A historic downtown district and a neighborly atmosphere in Ebensburg
Among the rolling foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, Ebensburg is a rural, community-oriented borough and the seat of Cambria County. The community has a charming downtown district with brick storefronts housing locally owned businesses, while annual events bring neighbors together throughout the year. “Our downtown is in the National Register of Historic Places,” says Danea Koss, Ebensburg’s Community Development Director. “We have a lot of preserved century-old architecture, which brings some historic charm to the area. One of the best things about living here is the close-knit community. Everyone knows their neighbors, and you can’t go anywhere without seeing someone you know. Commuters are also about equal distance from Johnstown and Altoona, which is a big plus.”
Having been founded hundreds of years ago Ebensburg has many historical sites.

Historic homes meet late 20th-century builds
The streets of Ebensburg are lined with well-maintained sidewalks and historical homes, many built between the 1890s and 1960s. American foursquares, Victorians and brick workers cottages are common, along with ranch-style homes and split-levels built in the late 20th century. Most homes sit close together on properties ranging from 2,000 to 8,000 square feet, while some houses on the higher end of the market feature lots over half an acre. Fixer-uppers and quaint cottages with around 1,200 square feet or less range from $80,000 to $190,000, while larger, move-in-ready homes can go for $200,000 to $400,000.
