Cape Cods, colonials, and cottages

Galeville’s homes line neatly organized, grid-patterned residential streets, most of which branch off from the Old Liverpool Road and Buckley Road. These side-streets each present an inventory of housing styles popular in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions; Cape Cods sit beside colonials, while ranch-style homes abut cozy cottages. The vast majority of these homes were built in the early-to-mid-20th century as Syracuse suburbanized, and the 1950s image of the “American Dream” – a small house with a driveway, a tree for shade and a neatly-trimmed front lawn – is kept alive by these vintage residences. Homes in Galeville tend to sell for between $100,000 and $300,000, with refurbished and later-built houses offering variety in both style and price.

A strong, salty heritage

Galeville is located within the suburban town of Salina, whose Latin name refers to the abundance of salt in the region; for this same reason, Syracuse is nicknamed the “Salt City.” While a huge part of Galeville’s appeal is its proximity to Syracuse, Galeville has always maintained a distinct character. This hamlet was long home to a salt works and an iconic local market, the Galeville Grocery, whose closure in 2010 and replacement by a Byrne Dairy and Deli may have heralded Galeville’s symbolic immersion into Syracuse. However, this hamlet continues to offer small-town vibes through its cherished local businesses, its quiet atmosphere and its vintage housing.
