The borough of Bellefonte, known as Pennsylvania’s “Victorian Jewel,” lives up to its name. The municipality considers historic preservation among its highest priorities. Here at Berks Homes, we’re proud to honor Bellefonte’s timeless charm with our new duplex homes. Located in idyllic Centre County, our upcoming Shady Lane Estates community awaits you. 

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or looking to downsize, this inviting neighborhood is designed with you in mind. At Shady Lane Estates, thoughtfully crafted homes and a welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a life well-lived.

Experience a town rich in culture

Bellefonte offers a remarkable backstory and picturesque surroundings. Stroll through the Borough’s Historic District, where stunning Victorian architecture and curated walking tours make the past come alive. The Bellefonte Art Museum captivates art enthusiasts with exhibits that honor the community’s creativity and heritage. Residents can stay engaged with the space all year round, with plenty of special events and classes.

Talleyrand Park, named the “centerpiece” of the local park system, spans 3.5 acres near major points of interest. Nature lovers will appreciate the soothing sound of Spring Creek, which flows through the park and attracts native wildlife, including mammals, birds, and waterfowl. 

Would you be interested in a relaxed evening out? Axemann Brewery and Big Spring Spirits are local favorites for enjoying craft beverages and connecting with treasured friends. Titan Hollow, a former factory turned gastropub, is equally beloved. Bellefonte offers serious charm, matched only by its warm and friendly community. 

Endless amenities just a short drive away

Shady Lane Estates places you within reach of the best that Centre County offers. Just a quick drive brings you to State College, home to the renowned Penn State University main campus and an array of activities for all ages. 

Visit the famous Berkey Creamery for a sweet treat, or experience the slopes of Tussey Mountain Ski Resort for a winter adventure.

For those who prefer a bit of solitude, a hike through the tranquil Black Moshannon State Park is a lovely way to return to nature. The park makes for the perfect escape, covering 3,394 acres of forests and wetlands right next to 43,000 acres of the surrounding Moshannon State Forest. 

Trivia buffs, take note: “Moshannon” translates to “moose stream,” while the park’s full name refers to the tea-hued waters of Black Moshannon Lake.
