In the heart of picturesque foothills of the Alleghenies is the small community of University Park. It is located right next to School College and Boalsburg. All three of these communities share common features, they are all small, intimate, and they all have a rich history, and a strong sense of education. They are all nestled in the rolling valley beneath a coverlet of oaks and pines and cedars.

There is plenty to do and see! Nearby in Boalsburg are several shops that offer specialty items, including “A Basket Full” — A country gift shop located in an 1827 house in Boalsburg's historic district, it is packed full of country gifts and accessories. There are several taverns in the area, with a plethora of food choices for the discerning gourmet.

University Park’s home market is flourishing with many choices in homes — from a multi-family home, to a snug duplex, a new condo, a restored Victorian or a custom-built home, the choice is yours. New construction will cost the buyer more and you can expect to spend around $320,000 for 3,000 square feet, and four bedrooms. A Victorian home in the same area will sell for $149,000. Some duplexes in the 1,500 square feet sell for less than $65,000.

University Park is a beautiful, quaint place located right in the heart of the country. One side are the Appalachian Mountains, on the other, Rothrock State Forest, Tussey Mountains with its ski slopes and not far away is State College, a rather charming city with a vivid history to it.
