City - Schenectady

A strong tradition of industry and innovation continues to influence the local culture—General Electric, historically one of Schenectady’s powerhouse employers, has re-invested in the city with renewable energy initiatives, and many of the old manufacturing buildings have been repurposed to house locally-owned businesses in recent years. Streetcars make it easy to traverse the city, and local rail service connects Schenectady to nearby communities such as Albany, Troy, and Saratoga Springs.

The city’s parks and natural surroundings offer lots of opportunities for outdoor activities. Golf and disc golf are popular among locals, and in the winter, several ski areas (in New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts) lay within an hour’s drive of your Schenectady rental. The performing arts have a strong presence, from Broadway shows at Proctors to classical recitals at the Union College Concert Series to free outdoor performances at the Music Haven Stage in the summertime.

Great Place to Live

I have lived here since it opened and i haven't enjoyed living anywhere else as much as i do here. The apartments are beautiful and modern, the staff is friendly and always trying to go the extra mile, and the repairs are always quick and done well. The amenities are better than anywhere else too, the gym is better than most YMCA's and the pool/ lounge/ grill area is a nice get away right out your front door. There are kayak rentals, and plenty of shops coming in; Druthers is very convenient. Neighbors are quiet and friendly, and the staff put on many apt. get together's in the common area so you can make friends. Parking is a dream since it is temperature controlled and covered, and the storage is a plus since it is cheap. This place is a great spot to live and you will not be disappointed, probably the best place in the area to live.
