Single-family homes and apartments near the University at Albany
Homes vary from split-levels, bungalows and raised-ranches to Cape Cods and revival builds. Single and multifamily homes range from the lower $100,000s to the upper $400,000s. “There’s no inventory. Homes come on and sell in a week. Especially if you’re below the median price, that affordability is higher,” says Kevin Clancy, a local and the founder and broker at Clancy Real Estate. “If you miss the first weekend a house is on the market, it’ll be gone by Monday.” There are also apartments to serve the area's student population. Campus Area’s median sale price is in the upper $200,000s, lower than Buckingham Lake-Crestwood and New Scotland-Woodlawn, but higher than Pine Hills.

There are Capital District Transportation Authority bus stops near the state buildings, the university and along Coach Bob Ford Way. Buses reach downtown, 7 miles away, in about 20 minutes and under 15 minutes by car. The neighborhood is also near Interstates 90 and 87.
