Older homes on larger lots on the outskirts of Albany
“Normanskill is a quiet, family-oriented place to live. It is one of the higher-end neighborhoods in Albany,” says Arpi Balgin, a Realtor with Berkshire Home Services who grew up in Albany. “The community is walkable to golf courses, hospitals and major highways.” There are mainly single-family homes, apartments and townhouses in Colonial and Dutch Colonial Revival and Cape Cod styles, with the occasional split-level, Minimal Traditional and postmodern home. Lorenzo Murray, an associate broker at HUNT Real Estate has worked in the industry for 13 years. He says the area’s main appeal is its location just outside the Albany city limits, its walkability, and suburban atmosphere with older homes on larger lots. He also says, "You’ve got access to Slingerlands, which then is a completely different school district, Price Chopper, local supermarkets … eateries, banks and wineries.” Single and multifamily homes range from the lower $200,000s to the lower $500,000s. Townhouses range from the upper $200,000s to the lower $300,000s. The median sale price is $309,500, which is comparable to Albany’s median, but higher than nearby areas such as Mount Hope and Delaware Avenue , and lower than Bethlehem and Buckingham Lake-Crestwood .
