Check out what some Niche reviewers have to say about Blue Bell:

"I lived in Blue Bell for nine years, ever since I was twelve years old. It's a quaint suburban area of Philadelphia that isn't particularly large, and the main quality it's known for is that Ryan Howard (1st baseman of the Phillies) has a house there. Despite that, it's far enough to distance yourself from the hustle and bustle of the city and really get to know your community and surroundings."

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.
