Thinking of buying a home in the Syracuse Area

[ckhthankgod]

Some other things you may get in villages are things such as parades, field days hosted by the fire department or fireworks shows.

BTW-Here is information about the village of East Syracuse’s department of Parks and Recreation: Parks & Recreation | East Syracuse NY

Another village Parks and Rec. Department: Recreation | Manlius Village, NY

Also, many villages have their own police departments, which will have a closer relationship with community members/residents in said village.

I would stay away from mattydale. Its not very clean and planes are loud. To me its depressing. Lots of poverty. Westvale is nice i live in piercefield area its nice and quiet. If you like cold and snow syr is for you, along with cloudy days
We are headed south in october i cannot take it any longer here



OTE=suburbandream;50850009]Hello,
I've been thinking of buying a home in the area and the most important factor is safety.
How is the Westvale area? Is it a safe neighborhood? I've noticed it's near the Westside area, which isn't a safe area and was wondering if it's affected by it?
What about Mattydale? I've searched the Northern Syracuse area and seem to find it nice, but am unsure of how Mattydale is? What about living near the Syracuse Hancock Airport area? Are the sounds of planes really loud and bothersome ( to those who have lived in such an area)?
What about the Clay area?
Thanks for any help and suggestions.[/quote]

Mattydale’s poverty rate is actually average(give or take)and it is basically older, working/middle class suburbia with some parts/properties that look better than others(around Boulevard east of LeMoyne Ave and west of Byrne Dairy/south of the schools and library are solid areas) in the North Syracuse SD: Mattydale, NY Historical Poverty Level Data - USA.com™

Also, Piercefield is actually in the village of Solvay, which historically another working/middle class, blue collar suburban village known for its Italian and even Slavic(Ukrainian and Polish) populations. Piercefield has a somewhat old moneyed feel though.

Westvale is generally south of West Genesee Street, except around Century Drive, etc. (Westhill SD) A small portion of Solvay is south of West Genesee Street across from Westvale Plaza(which is actually in the village of Solvay).

In terms of the village of Liverpool, you could walk to this store: Nichols Supermarket
