Education, culture, entertainment, shopping, restaurants, and a great downtown are just a few of the things that make a city or town desirable to call home. All 4 New York destinations named to Livability's Top 25 Best Places To Live In The Northeast all have a mix of these desirable elements!
Albany
Livability says Albany's "growing tech scene and entrepreneurial spirit," proximity to cities like Boston and New York, and great outdoor recreational opportunities are why the state's Capital city makes this list.
Buffalo
What gets Buffalo onto this best Northeast cities list? Buffalo's "High quality of life, cultural amenities, outdoor recreation, and vibrant culinary scene.." are what "set(s) the city apart..." according to Livability.
Ithaca
Livability calls Ithaca a high-level city to "live and learn" in. This waterfront city on Cayuga lake in the Finger Lakes Region is simply beautiful. Add in great educational opportunities, shopping, and restaurants and you have the ultimate place to call home.
Saratoga Springs
For us here in the Capital Region, any worthwhile "best place to live list" has to include the Spa City/ We know it for great restaurants and shopping, a stunning downtown, great shows, and SPAC, and of course summers at the track.
