A small, up-and-coming community in New York

In Malta, residents enjoy the benefits of a shiny new community that's filled with a booming tech industry, great outdoor recreation and advanced academic programs. The Town of Malta has sprung up over the past decade, so the area has a nice, new feel to it, says Joli Chamberlain, a Realtor with RE/MAX Solutions, with nearly two decades of experience in the Greater Capitol Region. Global Foundries is a major contributor to the area's development, according to Chamberlain. Residents have largely welcomed the semiconductor and nanotechnology manufacturer since it made Malta its home in 2021. Cindy Quade, a broker/owner of Signature One Realty Group, LLC, who has over three decades of experience in the area, also says Global Foundries has brought in a lot of businesses like daycares, dry cleaners and grocery stores. "We've got over 250 new businesses in Malta, so we pretty much have all the services that people need," she says. "And what I think is really special is that it still has a hometown feel."

Living in Malta gives you access to Saratoga Lake, a great love in the spa region.

New construction and natural backyards

Still, like much of the region, the housing market currently has a critically low inventory. "Homes stay on the market, one, two, maybe three days," says Chamberlain. On the upside, there is a lot of new traditional-style construction going on, which ranges from $450,000 to $650,000. Townhomes sit in the high $300,000s range, with wooded backyards. For single-family homes, the price range falls between $350,000 to 500,000, with ranch-style homes and colonials sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. Most homes have wooded backyards and modest driveways that lead directly to the road.

Well-regarded Ballston Spa Central schools

The Ballston Spa Central School District serves most of Malta's students, with a B from Niche. The area’s youngest children can attend Malta Avenue Elementary School, which also has a B. Kids may advance to B-rated Ballston Spa Middle School, which offers students low-cost recreational programs, before moving on to Ballston Spa Senior High School. This school seems to also have a B from Niche, and a Tec-Smart Program, where students earn college credit as they learn robotics and computer sciences in state-of-the-art facilities at the Global Foundries campus. The University of Albany is 24 miles away.

Picnics on the Saratoga Lake

Residents explore Shenantaha Creek Park’s walking and biking trails, basketball courts and disc golf course. People can also enjoy a natural sound bath while relaxing next to the rushing creek and cascading waterfall. Malta Community Park is a popular outdoor destination, with a playground and picnic area situated next to the Saratoga Lake. Water enthusiasts visit the lake for kayaking and boating. People can go skiing at Maple Ski Ridge during the colder months and golf at Pioneer Hills Golf Course during the warmer months.

U.S. Route 9, CDTA

Residents drive down U.S. Route 9 to get to most places like Market 32, which is the popular grocer in town, along with CVS Pharmacy and Allerdice Ace Hardware. Public transportation is provided by bus through the Central District Transportation Authority, which helps commuters get to surrounding areas like Saratoga Springs and Albany. While Saratoga County Airport is 7 miles away, most people use Albany International Airport, which is 21 miles away.

Watch a concert while dining

Locals head to Carson’s Woodside Tavern on U.S. Route 9 for scenic views, American fare and summer concert series. Nanola offers neighbors a cozy bar with trivia nights, live music every Wednesday and competitive games of pool. Azuma Sushi Bistro is where residents go for authentic Asian cuisine and food preparation performances, located off U.S. Route 9. There are also two popular breweries in the area, Active Ingredient Brewing Company and Unified Beerworks, where people visit for friendly convos over drinks.

Sit at the Speedway, shop at yard sales

Chamberlain lived in Malta for five years and says what she misses the most is how laid her neighbors were. "There are a lot of barbecues, family picnics and yard sales," Chamberlain says. "It's one large community." For a taste of Malta's hometown flavor, residents visit the heart of town, where the Albany-Saratoga Speedway is. Stock cars rip around a dirt track thrilling crowds throughout the racing season. The Malta Drive-In Theatre offers an old-school cinematic experience, with two screens showing feature films and an extensive snack bar.

Awesome place, wouldn't want to live anywhere else. A great mix of suburb and town life. Many, many apartment complexes, many places to work, such as Global Foundries or KAPL. Ballston Spa High School is excellent, and there are plenty of stores and restaurants.

I love living in Malta! My neighborhood is very quiet and has a lot of physically active people. A grocery store and a few fast food restaurants are within walking distance. Malta is still a growing city and has a lot of potential!
