About Duncansville
Duncansville is a quiet, close-knit borough in Blair County, located just southwest of Altoona. Originally settled along Blair Creek in the nineteenth century, the community today offers a relaxed neighborhood setting filled with traditional homes and mature trees. Quick connections to Route 22 and Interstate 99 make it easy for residents to commute across the region while enjoying a slower pace of life at home.
Students attend the well-regarded Hollidaysburg Area School District, and local families regularly meet up at Duncansville Memorial Park for youth sports and weekend walks. The town also claims a sweet slice of local history as the original birthplace of Meadows Frozen Custard, a regional favorite that started here in 1950. With its safe streets, scenic mountain backdrop, and everyday convenience, Duncansville is a comfortable place to settle down.
