East Utica
The housing stock varies
Homes in East Utica range in price from $107,000 to $315,000 and many are 1,545 square feet with 7,840 square-foot yards. Much like the area eateries, there are several housing styles to choose from, like two-family homes, bungalows, ranch-style houses and colonials. “From one block to another, there are vast differences,” she explained. Vince Scalise of Coldwell Banker Faith Properties, John Brown Team, says the housing, mostly built in the 1950s and 1960s, can cost about $200,000.With refugees from over 35 countries, the Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees (MVRCR), now “The Center,” has revitalized and stabilized Utica's economy since 1979. Vince Scalise of Coldwell Banker Faith Properties, John Brown Team, says The Center has been a “big part of keeping Utica going” and is a big reason Utica, as a whole, is a close-knit community. As a result, Rocco DePerno of Century 21 One Realty Partners says housing prices have been “coming in line” to reflect the demand.

Proctor Park is considered a crown jewel
The area's biggest annual event is probably the 15-kilometer or 9.3-mile foot and wheelchair Boilermaker Road Race. The E.J. Herrmann Cross Country Invitational, another Utica race, is held annually in T.R. Proctor Park, Utica's “crown jewel” park. The park features basketball courts, baseball fields, soccer fields, a running route and a zoo. The park is also home to the area’s newer dog park. The zoo is a little treasure inside the city. Utica also has minor-league baseball and hockey teams. Residents who want to add culture can take in a Broadway show at the Stanley Theatre. There is also Munson, a regional fine arts center founded in 1919.

Dining in the area is a trip around the world
The restaurant scene in Utica reflects the different international cultures that have settled there. Paco's Empanadas House, Puerto Rican food, Symeon's Greek Restaurant and Minar Fine Indian Food are other examples of multicultural restaurants. Scalise describes Utica’s many eateries, “All top notch. The area is known for it.” Another popular restaurant is FX Matt - 1888 Biergarten, which is adjacent to Matt Brewing Company. The brewery produces Saranac beers. It should be noted that there are no major shopping centers in the area, but there are ones in the surrounding Utica regions.
