I've lived in Roaring Spring, PA my entire life. It's a quiet little town that has a big heart. We have a beautiful spring right in the middle of town that is home to lots of ducks and fish. When the fountain is on at night, there are lights shine through the water. We have plenty of places to eat and a few places to shop for items. We are located about 20 minutes away from Altoona, PA and about 45 minutes away from State College, PA. Roaring Spring is just a little town that's been around for a long time. I would like the roads to be a little nicer in some areas, but overall the town is well-taken care of and very quaint.
Great community! Everyone is your friend and will willingly help you if you need it. Roaring Spring is a very warm and supportive town.
Despite not having very much to do, I really enjoy living in Roaring Spring. The thing I like the most about living here is that you don't really have to worry about people breaking into your house while on vacation because of how little crime there is here. Living in a smaller town, Nason Hospital is a 30-second walk away from my house, Rite Aid is practically in my backyard, and there are plenty of fast food restaurants and various pizza places all within a couple minutes away. If I ever felt in danger, the police station is roughly two minutes away, so I honestly feel very safe, regardless of the time of day. While Roaring Spring certainly has a lot of pros, just like anything else, it also comes with some cons. Route 36 basically divides the town, and there aren't any crosswalks. The town also lacks a nightlife, so you’ll have to go somewhere else to spend your Friday nights
