Arbor Hill - Albany, NY Area Guide

Arbor Hill lies approximately one mile northeast of downtown Albany, giving commuters easy access by car, bus, or foot. Historic Victorian row houses fill the mostly residential neighborhood, especially in Ten Broeck Triangle and along Clinton Avenue. Your apartment in Arbor Hill puts you close to the action in the heart of Albany, while providing you with a quiet community to come home to at the end of the night. At the edge of this neighborhood sits the Baroque-style Palace Theatre, home to the Albany Symphony Orchestra. Stop by Angelo's 677 Prime for a hearty steak, and then head over to the theater for a classical music performance. Artists gather at the work studios in Academy Lofts at the Barn.
