Thank you for your responses. I will consider everyone's recommendations. We're used to a certain lifestyle here in the city and would like a neighborhood that is safe, somewhat affluent, family friendly, and close to museums, parks, culture, etc. We're a cultured family and diversity is important to us. We're not opposed to living in a community that is predominantly Caucasian, but it would be nice for our children to play with other children of various backgrounds (similar to their schools in nyc).
Not true, as they didn't say that in the OP and don't come on here assuming something they didn't say. Unfortunately, that happens a lot in this forum.
This is also considering the demographics of Prospect Heights, which is where they would be coming from and is actually a diverse part of Brooklyn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospe...ghts,_Brooklyn (look to the right)
Looking at the demographics of that Brooklyn neighborhood, if the suburbs were an option, the closest that might come to that on a small scale is probably this area/census block group in DeWitt/Jamesville-DeWitt SD that has a mix of apartments, but also a good mix in the SFH streets(I actually know a family that lives/lived in that area): https://censusreporter.org/profiles/...6-onondaga-ny/

Shotwell Park isn't that bad. Its isolated from the nonsense that we have known Eastwood to be. I am not totally down on Eastwood, but I would lock those doors most of the time.

Eastwood is not a bad area. Outside of some older apartments, it is largely mostly homeowners and you don’t hear much serious crime coming from the neighborhood.
It is a very walkable area, which has a good portion of the city’s population and could catch on as a “popular†neighborhood in the near future. It is also in a good location between the Thruway, I-690, shopping/restaurants on Erie Boulevard East, hospitals, Downtown, colleges/universities, etc.
When looking at the demographic information from 2020, the census tract the neighborhood is located in includes a portion of the Eastwood neighborhood. It is 12.2% black alone/16.2% inc. mixed/in combo.
No problem and thank you! I'd say that you would like the east Side of the city. Besides the East Side neighborhoods mentioned earlier, you may also like the Westcott/University area, which is east of Syracuse university, is walkable, has a good mix of people, with some nice, historic homes.
Also, keep in mind that the previously mentioned Berkeley Park is in that general area, with Scottholm and Meadowbrook also in that general area.
You also have this area near Syracuse University's South Campus/athletic facilities, which isn't too far away either: https://outercomstock.org/?v=f24485ae434a
an older video about the area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykUqM4xrIc
It also has a good mix of people and Comfort Tyler Park in the neighborhood. Again, you can walk to or take a shuttle to events at the University too.
So, this may be a general area to look into and it also isn't too far from the big box shopping on Erie Boulevard East/East Genesee Street in DeWitt and Bridge Street in East Syracuse. Plus, due to the college presence(there is a SUNY medical university, SUNY-ESF and Le Moyne College next to the Salt Springs neighborhood), it has a different, more "liberal", "crunchy" vibe/feel to it.
In terms of the bolded area, here are some businesses in the neighborhoods, which includes a mix of restaurants(needs to be updated a little bit): https://westcottsyr.com/business/
While the Shotwell Park area of Eastwood is in the western portion of the neighborhood/section: https://www.tomorrowsneighborhoodstoday.org/eastwood (the arlington Tract is in the SE portion of the neighborhood)
The Valley is the neighborhood/section further south, with the South Valley being the bulk of the neighborhood south of Seneca Turnpike(the thick white line on the map): https://www.tomorrowsneighborhoodstoday.org/valley
I love this organization! Thank you for the information.
