Crime Scene and Trauma Cleanup in Toftrees, PA

Toftrees is a census-designated place in Patton Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania — a hilltop community built around the Toftrees Golf Resort about 3.5 miles northwest of downtown State College.

Toftrees was developed beginning in the late 1960s as a self-contained resort community, and by 1971 it already combined single-family homes, cluster homes, condominiums, six apartment complexes, and a hotel and conference resort.

The Toftrees golf course, designed by Edmund Ault, opened as a nine-hole layout in the late 1960s and was expanded to a full 18 holes by the end of 1971; it went on to host the Pennsylvania Golf Association's Better-Ball Championship.

Toftrees partnered with Marriott Golf in 1990, and Golf Digest's Places to Play has rated the Toftrees course four stars, ranking it among Pennsylvania's best resort and public courses.

Toftrees' population surged from 2,053 at the 2010 census to 3,513 at the 2020 census as new apartment and housing developments filled in around the resort.

At the 2020 census, Toftrees' roughly 3,500 residents lived in about 1,300 households, with more than 2,100 housing units in the community overall.

Toftrees has an unusually young population for Centre County — Census Bureau survey data put its median age at under 30 — reflecting the many Penn State graduate students and young professionals who live there.

Fewer than one in five Toftrees homes is owner-occupied, the reverse of most Centre County communities, because so much of the community's housing stock is rental apartments.

Toftrees sits on the north side of Interstate 99/U.S. Route 322, within a ten-minute drive of Penn State's University Park campus, Beaver Stadium, and the Bryce Jordan Center.
