A welcoming community next to Albany
Albany's Delaware Avenue is a triple-threat neighborhood, offering residents comfort, convenience and community. The community feels increasingly suburban, with single-family dwellings, driveways decked with basketball goals and children's bicycles strewn in spacious yards, making the neighborhood feel far removed from the city. But Downtown Albany — with all its amenities and bustle — is a mere three miles away. Residences in the neighborhood include detached and multifamily units on compact lots. You'll notice a mix of homes with brick and vinyl siding featuring stoops and front porches where neighbors socialize, according to Keith Wells, a sales and leasing associate with 518Realty.com, who has been selling homes in the area for nearly a decade. To sweeten the Delaware Avenue deal, there's a thriving sense of community, says Wells. "People are out and about. It's a very welcoming area, very friendly. It's something worth checking out,” he says.

Delaware Avenue, where homes sell fast
For a typical three-bedroom, traditional single-family home with bungalow architecture, residents can look to spend about $170,000 to $250,000. A two-family ranch-style residence will cost around $300,000, according to Wells, and these prices reflect the neighborhood's layout. "Price goes up a bit as you move west," he says. Like the rest of the region, housing inventory is low. Homes here typically spend a little more than a month on the market, Wells says. Most dwellings have proximity to one another with manicured lawns and modest sidewalks, where trees line the streets.

Hackett Middle School, which has a B and is known for its highly involved Parent Teacher Association that's positively impacting students. B-rated Albany High School offers a state-championship-winning football program. The University of Albany is 9 miles away.

Swimming and skiing in East New York
Community youth sports teams battle it out on the baseball and soccer fields at the Christian Plumeri Sports Complex. Many locals head just north of the neighborhood to Lincoln Park, where children can take advantage of the playground. The adjacent city park features an outdoor swimming pool and a weight room. Residents visit Capital Hills at Albany for a walking trail that loops around a 9-hole golf course. During the winter season, it becomes a popular skiing destination.
Lincoln Park offers a variety of options for South End's residents.
Plumeri Sports Complex is a large park/facility used by the public and the school.

From empanadas to American cuisine
Along Delaware Avenue, retail and restaurant life pops, offering authentic international dining and fresh produce markets. Residents visit La Empanada Llama for sweet and savory empanadas and The Delaware Pub & Grill for unique American fare and an extensive drink menu. Everything else locals may need is found at Cardona's Market, an independent Italian market with fresh produce, baked goods, and a selection of marinara. CVS Pharmacy is where people go for medications and prescriptions.

Feature films and coffee shops on Lark Street
Despite having some suburban sensibilities, Delaware Avenue offers residents solid entertainment options, like Indie and feature films at Landmark's Spectrum 8 Theatre and live performances at the Albany Civic Theatre. From Delaware Avenue, it's a quick trip to Downtown Albany — a major attraction for many homebuyers, says Wells. "You can walk to Lark Street downtown, where you find a plethora of restaurants and taverns and coffee shops,” he says.
