"Moving in, Collegeville was a very quiet place to live. Recent construction brings in noises that I missed while living elsewhere. Although home construction is located throughout, when I first moved in there was no close shopping center. Now there is one right down the street and up the road from my house; just a few minutes away. The environment is clean and there is less to worry about."

The top place to buy a house in PA is Houserville, an unincorporated section of Centre County that's just outside of the Penn State campus.
