The picturesque Downtown district features a great selection of unique restaurants, bars, specialty shops, and art galleries near the shore, many offering terrific views over the water. While the idyllic setting makes this area a popular spot for tourism, the excellent local schools and low crime rate also make Skaneateles a great option for families.
