City - Watertown

In northern New York state off of Lake Ontario lies the city of Watertown. This affordable suburb is home to many substantial attractions such as the New York State Zoo at Historic Thompson Park. Spanning across 32 acres, the NYS Zoo houses a variety of native animals and is a great family-friendly location in Watertown. Downtown Watertown encompasses Public Square, the central plaza complete with a fountain, surrounded by restored buildings and diverse eateries.

Once you find your apartment in Watertown, be sure to visit Maggie’s on the River located in a former warehouse with incredible river views and crafty drinks. If you’re interested in learning more about Watertown, visit the Jefferson County Historical Society downtown for artifacts, books, and documents that reflect the county’s history.

Multiple parks exist in the area like Waterworks Park. The park offers open green space, a scenic hiking trail, and access to the Black River for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
