The Southside Community Center, founded in 1934, is a long-standing gathering place that highlights the area’s history and the role of African Americans in Ithaca, with programs like summer camps, after-school activities, and the annual Juneteenth Jubilee. Nearby, the Downtown Ithaca Commons is a four-block, pedestrian-only stretch with local shops, galleries, and eateries, and a full calendar of things to do, including the popular Ithaca Festival each June.

Wegman’s and Trader Joe’s are less than a mile down South Meadow Street, and Creekside Plaza and South Meadow Marketplace add more retail choices.

Parts of the neighborhood sit in a flood zone along Six Mile Creek, where heavy rain can bring more than 3 feet of water and some properties require flood insurance. Students attend highly rated Belle Sherman Elementary, DeWitt Middle, and Ithaca Senior High School.
