4 Reasons to Settle in Syracuse

Buying a house is a major life change, especially if you're considering a new city. With Syracuse named one of the best places to live by U.S. News and World Report, the city is on the radar of many young families, empty nesters, and everyone in between. Here are four of the best reasons to think about moving to Syracuse.

Proximity to Weekend Getaways

Living in Syracuse means you have a bevy of entertainment options at your fingertips. You can get to Buffalo for a Bills game in three hours, or to New York City in just four. When you're close to home, it's just a short drive to the wine region of the Finger Lakes, and minutes to desirable suburbs with tons of shopping and dining.

Low Housing Costs

Purchasing a home is an expensive proposition, but those buying a house in Syracuse get more value for their money than in other U.S. cities. Not only is housing less expensive, but you'll also pay less for amenities like gym memberships, parking, and personal grooming.

Kid-Friendly Fun

Syracuse is a city on the younger side, with the median age of residents at just 30. With that in mind, it's a great place to consider buying a house if you have or plan to have children. Not only is it home to the 12-day Great New York State Fair, but favorite family locales within the city also include the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology and the Rosamond Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park.

Higher Education

Syracuse is, of course, home to Syracuse University, as well as close to such institutions as Cornell University, Ithaca College, and several State University of New York campuses.

With these benefits, it's no wonder that the city is so highly ranked as a potential home base. As a qualified realtor who specializes in the greater Syracuse area, I can help your family find the perfect home at the right price.
