For those that may be curious as to what are some of the most culturally diverse areas outside of the immediate NYC area in the state, I will provide information at different levels for such areas. Others can also add information or input, as well as ask questions.
12209 is definitely a solid place to live. Looks like it includes the Helderberg and Delaware Ave neighborhoods. Delaware Ave has come a long way and Helderberg is about as quiet and safe as you'll get in Albany next to the neighborhoods west of there.
I lived in 12208. Felt pretty diverse, but still mainly white. The good thing though is everyone got along. Lots of blacks and Hispanics mixed in throughout Albany.
As a whole, Albany is pretty diverse and even the "black" neighborhoods have a fair amount of white people in them. Gentrification probably is helping that, but Albany's not gentrifying as fast as other cities throughout the country.

Yes, 12209 is a generally middle class zip and would/could appeal to a range of people.
Good point about “black” neighborhoods, as they are generally predominantly or highly/above average Black percentages in Upstate cities.
