Lower priced homes near State College and Penn State
Spring Township is a rural, Centre County community with mountainous recreational opportunities and a variety of homes at a lower price than surrounding areas. Originally founded as Upper Bald Eagle Township in 1786, it got its current name from the natural springs found throughout the area. Iron, brass and limestone industries began to boom here in the early 1800s, transforming the town into a major mining hub. Several mines are still in operation today and serve as an employer for the area. Spring Township also attracts those looking for a lower cost of living while staying close to Pennsylvania State University. “The township is more affordable than State College, and you’re less than 10 minutes from the university,” says Samantha Hassinger, a Realtor with RE/MAX Centre Realty, who’s been selling homes around the area for two years.
Most homes in the Spring area have large lots to frolic and enjoy.
Bellefonte is located in Spring, Pa and is the busiest area within to enjoy and shop.
