Situated just seven miles south of Saratoga Springs, Malta provides a serene small-town setting for residents looking for a rental in eastern New York State. Bounded to the east by Saratoga Lake, this scenic locale blends charming towns with the vibrant countryside of rural New York. What was once a predominately single-family home market has seen an increase in luxury apartment rentals and townhomes. There are pockets of entertainment to be found all around Malta, including the Albany-Saratoga Speedway where residents can watch stock cars trade paint on the high-stakes dirt track.
Residents of Malta enjoy a relatively peaceful atmosphere, but with Saratoga Springs nearby there’s always something to do. Interstate 87 passes through town, making it easy to access Albany and Schenectady to the south.
