Blair County USDA Loan

What areas of Blair County, Pennsylvania are eligible for USDA Mortgage Program?

Geographically, the majority of Blair County is located in a USDA Eligible area.   As expected, the area of Blair County that is not eligible for USDA financing can be found in the populated section along Pleasant Valley Boulevard and west of Interstate 99 that includes the city limits of Altoona.

Just outside the city limits of Altoona, the rest of Blair County becomes USDA eligible. On the western edge of the Altoona metro area, we reach USDA eligible territory just outside of the Penn State Altoona campus. Heading north, we reach USDA eligible areas near Greenwood. On the southern end of the Altoona area, USDA Eligibility starts again just south of the Logan Valley Mall as we head towards Duncansville. Almost all areas east of I-99 are USDA Eligible. Hollidaysburg is completely eligible for the USDA Mortgage Program.

Many people who work in the Altoona area but live just outside the city limits will be able to use the No Down Payment USDA Mortgage Program.

 

Altoona is the only area of Blair County that is not USDA Eligible
