A bustling downtown at the confluence of two rivers
Where the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers meet in southern central New York, Downtown Binghamton serves as the centerpiece of the city. The rivers bound the neighborhood on three sides, and residents in and around the downtown area don’t have far to go to dine out. More than a dozen restaurants are situated within a couple blocks’ orbit of Court Street, the area’s main thoroughfare. Locals head south to Confluence Park at water’s edge for views of the rivers, north for interstate access and west for groceries. On weeknights early in the year, the Binghamton Black Bears take to the ice at Visions Veterans Memorial Arena, and during the spring, summer and early fall, baseball fans flock to Mirabito Stadium for Binghamton Rumble Ponies games.
The Susquehanna River provides a beautiful backdrop for the Downtown Binghamton community.

Dining options near Court Street
Most restaurants are concentrated south of Court Street in downtown around Parlor City Commons, a small courtyard undergoing restoration. An annual Restaurant Week, usually held in the spring, spotlights participating area eateries. “There’s a strong nightlife scene in downtown Binghamton,” Arnold says, adding that Dillinger’s Celtic Pub & Eatery has been a staple for nearly 20 years. Other eateries are scattered throughout downtown, and residents order drinks at the 205 Dry Speakeasy or breakfast at the Strange Brew Café.
The Lost Dog Café & Lounge is one of the most popular destinations, offering a menu stocked with cocktails, brunch options, sandwiches and more. Northeast of the Lost Dog, Station 45 American Chop House debuted in early 2024. “It opened up in the old railroad station, and it’s fabulous,” says Linda Kent, an independent broker with Linda Kent Real Estate, adding that the station played a large role in commerce before it closed. “The railway station was very interesting, because it had service from Binghamton to New York City.” Grocery items require a run across either river, to a Wegmans and Walmart in Johnson City or a Target in Vestal, but none of those stores are more than 6 miles away.
The lost Dog Cafe offers great food, better service and on certain nights live music.

Future New York Mets stars at Mirabito Stadium
Mirabito Stadium is home to the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, the New York Mets’ double-A affiliate, which has had MLB stars like Pete Alonso and David Wright on its roster on their way to the big leagues. The Binghamton Black Bears’ home ice is at Visions Veterans Memorial Arena, and the team is a part of the Federal Prospects Hockey League. The Luma Festival is a treat for the eyes each fall. “They have huge projectors and do digital art and project it onto the sides of these historic buildings in Downtown Binghamton,” says Keith Arnold, a licensed real estate salesperson with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services.

River vistas from Confluence Park
Confluence Park has a looping oval path and a lookout offering views of the spot where the Chenango and Susquehanna rivers meet. Off the park’s east side, the South Washington Street Parabolic Bridge is open to those on foot or riding bicycles, linking downtown with the southern banks of the Susquehanna. The Binghamton River Trail extends northward from Confluence Park, and the paved path connects to the Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade. Kennedy Park is a small green space near the center of Binghamton, and kayaking is popular in the river. “The variety of the aspects of living here, to me, are tremendous,” Kent says. “You have the natural beauty of the river, hills, parks and trails.”
Bridges crossing the Susquehanna River make for a beautiful sunset over Downtown Binghamton.

Multifamily properties close to student housing
Single-family homes are scarce in Downtown Binghamton, with residential properties mostly consisting of duplexes, triplexes and some condos. Residential life is mostly concentrated in the southeastern corner of the neighborhood. Many homes date to the early 20th century, and investment properties are popular. Prices vary, but usually range between $100,000 and $200,000. Similar to the rest of the area, Binghamton University student housing is located within the neighborhood. The Binghamton University Downtown Center – College of Community and Public Affairs is a satellite of the college, and students live in the University Lofts in downtown. “It’s kind of been labeled as a college town,” Arnold says.
