Suburb combines north and south sections

Syracuse's Valley region combines North Valley and South Valley, expanding the price range and home selections for prospective homebuyers. Valley real estate comprises medium-sized (three- or four-bedroom) to small (studio to two-bedroom) single-family homes and small apartment buildings. Much of the residential real estate is occupied by a mix of owners and renters. The abundance and diversity of restaurants and recreation add depth to the community’s lifestyle.

Daily commute is easily accessible

Syracuse's economy is looking brighter as Micron Technology, the computer chip factory, is slated to break ground in the northern suburbs in 2024, ensuring that the area will receive plenty of fringe benefits, thousands of job opportunities and auxiliary businesses. Interstate 81 skirts the area's eastern boundary, and U.S. Route 11 runs directly through, making commuting much more accessible. Downtown Syracuse is less than a 2-mile drive on local streets. The area has several Centro bus stops, and Syracuse Hancock International Airport is a 4-mile drive via I-81.

Neighborhood has wide rang of architectural styles

Valley has verdant, winding, narrow streets, some with sidewalks. Many of the residences in the Valley neighborhood are older and well-established, built between 1940 and 1969. A number of homes were built in the late 1800s. Houses in North Valley tend to be less expensive than their southern counterpart due to their proximity to south Syracuse, which has a higher crime rate (6/10 on the CAP Index). "We've seen some growth around Salina Street," says T.J. Perkins, an associate real estate broker with Acropolis Realty Group who was born and raised in Syracuse. Homes below Seneca Turnpike typically have a slight price increase. Old Style, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes are popular architectural styles throughout South Valley. " Lots are small here," Perkins says. "All less than ¼ acre." Some homes have either attached or detached garages, and some have neither. Overall, prices range from $63,000 to $227,000.
