Why Live in Jalappa

Jalappa, a small residential area north of downtown Pottsville, PA, offers a mix of duplexes, attached, and single-family homes built between the late 1800s and 1920s. These homes, typically around 1,500 square feet, often feature front porches and minimal yard space. The neighborhood is characterized by its winding, hilly landscape, with street parking being common. While some properties are in disrepair, the city has initiated a Flight Blight Task Force to address these issues. Jalappa is within walking distance of downtown Pottsville's shops and restaurants, including popular spots like Pottsville Diner and Rumors. For groceries, Weis Markets is nearby, and Fairlane Village Mall offers department and big-box stores. The Barefield Outdoor Recreation Complex provides basketball and volleyball courts, a large field, and a picnic area, while the Schuylkill YMCA offers fitness lessons and summer camps. Nearby, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Pool and Famous Reading Outdoors cater to summer activities and off-road adventures. Jalappa is served by the Pottsville Area School District, with schools within 2 miles of the community. The area is safer than the national average, and major routes like U.S. Route 209 and Pennsylvania Route 61 provide convenient access to the rest of the county. Annual events such as the Schuylkill Winterfest and Greater Pottsville Winter Carnival add to the local charm. However, potential environmental risks from nearby active mine sites are being addressed through a watershed reclamation project.
