Agricultural community close to State College
Halfmoon Township is a rural community with single-family homes on large lots in the Appalachian Mountains area of Halfmoon Valley. Unlike neighboring towns with iron and limestone mining industries, Halfmoon has long been a major exporter of agricultural goods. Comprised of farmland and clusters of houses, the town exudes small-town charm just 10 miles from the State College metro area. “It falls in line with other townships in the area, but it’s definitely more suburban,” says Samantha Hassinger, a Realtor with RE/MAX Centre Realty, who’s been selling area homes for two years.
Between housing developments in Halfmoon you'll find many small farms.
Many students find themselves heading to Halfmoon from State College for farm markets.
