Huntingdon Was Voted One Of The Nicest Little Towns In America

Nestled in a valley by a river just off of Route 22, Huntgindon, Pennsylvania was voted as one of the nicest small towns in Pennsylvania, and after a quick stroll through the city, one can understand why. The old fashioned architecture and small town feel gives the city the charm of a historic city from the 1700s and feels like the historic descriptions one would see in postcards, much like an idealized version of Anytown, USA, a breath of fresh air to those who prefer a town with character over the modern trends of architecture that is often criticized for being unimaginative, minamlist, utilitarian, and hard to distinguish from one another. Meanwhile, Huntgindon has buildings that all are different in their design, different colors, window styles, different floor heights, amount of floors, even the little individual touches that makes each building feel like something special exists in Huntingdon.

In addition to the very traditional feel of the town, it has a very radical design that is the envy of avant-garde city planners. How often have you seen a town with the downtown on the edge of town? I don't simply mean that it is bordered by a river, a railroad, or a highway, I mean the downtown is completely on the edge of town. Huntingdon's downtown is bordered on one side by a river, on two sides by forest, and on the fourth side by the rest of the city where it builds away and out from the downtown, giving Huntgindon an almost cornucopia shape, or more accurately, a block L shape.
