Albany Overview

Considering a move to Upstate New York? Why not move to the state’s capital for affordable living` outdoor recreation` a family-friendly environment` and a great location overall? Homes for rent in Albany give you access to tons of amenities — and plenty of vacation spots? The city is just a few hours away from NYC` Montreal` and Boston. It’s even closer to the area’s natural beauty` like Lake George and the Catskills and Adirondack Mountains! Living here gives you some good job opportunities to choose from` along with dining` entertainment` and shopping. We’ll go over what makes this a top city in the Empire State — and what life is like there for residents!

What is the history of Albany?

Albany has been New York’s capital since 1797 — but its history dates back much further than that. The Dutch built a trading post in the area in the early 1600s. During that time` Henry Hudson sailed up the river that would end up bearing his name. With the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers flowing through the area` Albany became a major site for international trade. Did you know that the city was also the site of the very first passenger railroad? Over the years` Albany became known for its agricultural industry — after serving as a site for the fur trade in its early years. Today` manufacturing` healthcare` logistics` and defense have joined agriculture as the city’s leading industries!

How is the weather in Albany?

Looking forward to snowy winters? Albany gets close to 60 inches of snow on average every winter! That makes it a great place for winter activities` like skiing` snowboarding` and sledding. Highs in winter are usually in the 30s` with lows in the teens and 20s. But summer weather makes up for the cold with daytime temps in the low 80s and nighttime temps in the 60s. Highs in spring and fall tend to range from the 40s to the 60s` with lows falling in the 30s through 50s. That gives you mild weather for enjoying the area’s fall foliage or spring flowers. Albany has its share of sunny days throughout the year — but you’ll also get some rainy weather` especially in spring and fall.

How do I get around town?

Wondering if you should look for Albany rentals near public transportation or rely on a car? The region’s Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) operates multiple bus routes throughout Albany` especially in the downtown area. You may be able to take buses to get where you need to go if you’re near these routes. For the outer areas` having a car comes in handy for getting around. Need to travel out of town? Albany International Airport in the northern part of town offers flights to tons of destinations. Amtrak runs an Empire Service train to and from the city and NYC daily. You can also catch Amtrak trains from Albany to other locations — including Niagara Falls and Buffalo!

What is the Albany commute like?

It’s nowhere near as long as commuting times in nearby NYC and other major cities. You’ll spend an average of 24 minutes getting to and from work as a resident in Albany. Of course` this can vary` depending on weather` traffic — and where you’re commuting to. You might also need to add more time to your commute if you’re traveling during morning and/or evening rush hour! Several major roads run through Albany. I-87 runs along the western side of the city in a north-south direction. I-787 runs along the eastern side of the city near the Hudson River` also in a north-south direction. I-90 passes through the northern part of Albany from east-west.

Why live in Albany, NY?

Do you need to find a family-friendly town with good schools? Or planning to attend college in the Empire State? Albany is a great place for both families and college students — and anyone else who wants a beautiful place to call home! Albany homes for rent are in growing demand thanks to the area’s lower cost of living compared to other places in the northeastern U.S. It has a lot to offer` whether you prefer outdoor recreation` historical sites` live entertainment — or a mix of all of these! You’ll also find several major employers in healthcare` technology` manufacturing` and other industries.

What Albany landmarks should I see?

How about starting with the New York State Capitol? As the capital city` Albany’s seat of government is located in a stunning building dating back to the late 1800s. Tours of the Capitol are available throughout the week. Visit Empire State Plaza to see former Governor Rockefeller’s impressive art collection! Catch live shows at The Egg — a performing arts center in Empire State Plaza. Stand on the Corning Tower Observation Deck for a picturesque view of the area from the 42nd floor. Visit the Erie Canal via hiking or biking trails to see Cohoes Falls and other sites!

What is there to do around Albany?

Albany rental homes make it easy to explore all that the city has to offer! Visit the Albany Pine Bush Preserve — inland pine barrens filled with butterflies` bike trails` fishing spots` and more. Head to Albany Institute of History and Art for informative exhibits and impressive artwork. Visit the New York State Museum in the downtown area for cultural and historical exhibits. Love going to festivals? You might enjoy the Annual Albany Tulip Festival every Mother’s Day weekend. Or head downtown for Pearlpalooza’s free music festival every September!

Where is the best place to move in Albany?

Want to be near nightlife and lots of amenities? Consider looking for rental homes in Albany in the downtown area. Lark Street is an artsy area with eclectic shops` dining establishments — and more! Center Square has brownstone buildings and shady` tree-lined streets. Pine Hills offers a great neighborhood for college students attending the University of Albany or other area schools.
