Historic Charming Scenic Convenient Growing

The Pottery District is a historic community located roughly between Ferry Street to the north, Liberty Street to the south, 3rd Street to the east, and 5th Avenue to the west. Residents are often drawn to the Pottery District for its charming rentals, convenient location, and strong sense of community pride.

The neighborhood sits at the southern edge of the Central Troy Historic District and the northern reaches of Little Italy, blending the best offerings of both neighbors. The community is also just west of the sprawling Prospect Park, where recreational opportunities abound. Russell Sage College and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are both easily accessible from the Pottery District as well, making it a top choice for many students, faculty, and staff.
