About Sankertown

Sankertown is a quiet, tight-knit borough tucked into the wooded hills of Cambria County, sitting right alongside Cresson. With only a few hundred residents, it has the peaceful feel of a secluded mountain neighborhood while keeping daily conveniences close at hand. Most of the community is made up of modest single-family homes along calm residential streets, where neighbors know each other and kids have room to play at the local ball field and basketball court.
