Spencer Road Home for Sale

Spencer Road in Ithaca is a wooded, residential neighborhood characterized by Craftsman, Colonial Revival, and Dutch Colonial-style homes. The area is known for its quiet, suburban feel despite its proximity to the bustling NY State Route 13. Homes are set back on modest lots with mature trees and front lawns, and the street itself sees minimal through-traffic even if it lacks sidewalks. Residents benefit from nearby shopping centers like South Meadow Square and Marketplace, which house stores such as Trader Joe’s, Wegmans, and T.J. Maxx, as well as dining options like Panera, Five Guys, and local favorites like Spicy Asian Chinese and Old Mexico. MIX, a popular spot for craft cocktails and live music, is also nearby. Spencer Road provides convenient access to recreational areas, including Buttermilk Falls State Park, South Hill Recreation Way, and Ithaca College Natural Lands, which are ideal for hiking, biking, and birdwatching. The neighborhood is served by highly rated schools within the Ithaca City School District, including Fall Creek Elementary School, Boynton Middle School, and Ithaca Senior High School. Commuters can easily reach Downtown Ithaca and other areas via NY Route 13, and the Ithaca Tompkins International Airport is about 6 miles away.
