Hollidaysburg, PA

Located just five miles south of Altoona, Hollidaysburg is a scenic borough of around 5,600 residents that serves as the Blair County seat. Historic homes, tree-lined streets, and brick sidewalks give the town an authentic, welcoming feel. Its roots date back to the early canal and railroad days along the Juniata River, and much of that heritage is still visible in the well-preserved architecture throughout the historic district.

Daily activity revolves around The Diamond, the central town square where neighbors gather for holiday parades, farmers markets, and community festivals. Families are drawn to the strong local schools and quiet neighborhoods, while local parks and nearby trails make it easy to get outside. It offers a relaxed, small-town rhythm, all while keeping you a short drive from Altoona's shopping, dining, and healthcare options.
