Local convenience to highways and restaurants
Eastside Binghamton runs along the northern banks of the Susquehanna River, extending eastward from the city’s downtown area. The mostly residential neighborhood, known for its diners and Italian restaurants, has convenience to Interstate 86 and partially bridges the area between downtown and Fivemile Point. “There are a lot of residential homes and some really great restaurants and,” says Douglas Harrington, a licensed real estate salesperson with EXIT Realty and resident of Eastside Binghamton. “We have a really nice park, Howard Avenue Park, that’s right in there, as well. I like to walk my dog there.” Local celebrations and events give the area a close-knit atmosphere. “I’ve noticed, over the last 10 years, that there’s more of a sense of community,” says Tara Cataldi, a real estate salesperson with EXIT Realty. “More people are volunteering to get grassroots projects off the ground, and they’re growing.”
Classic and international food on Court Street
Eastside Binghamton is known for the prominence of diners and Italian restaurants. Jody’s Diner and Christy’s Diner both dish out breakfast and brunch along Court Street near the river. “You have Michelangelo’s, which is my personal favorite,” Harrington says. “They’re a good Italian staple. The Binghamton area has a really big Italian population, so there’s quite a bit in terms of Italian restaurants.” Michelangelo’s is complemented by Cortese Restaurant, and the two Italian diners are only about a mile apart. “If you go a little bit farther east, between Routes 11 and 17, there’s an ice cream stand called Frosty Joe’s,” Harrington says. “They have like 50 different flavors of soft serve. It’s a really nice place to go and it’s pretty inexpensive, especially during the summer.”Less than 10 miles north of Eastside Binghamton, the Fat Cowboys BBQ plays host to a stocked menu and live music. “He has a bar-restaurant here,” Cataldi says of pit master Garrett Wagner. “He’s won multiple awards for his barbecue, and they have food trucks that are up here.” Dick’s Sporting Goods originated in the Eastside Binghamton neighborhood, and the very first location is still in operation just off Court Street. Less than half a mile up Ely Street, a Weis Markets provides convenient grocery shopping for residents.
Annual seasonal and cultural festivals
Just east of the neighborhood, the Binghamton German Club plays host to an Oktoberfest celebration every fall. “They do the stein hoist, pretzel-eating contests and keg rolling,” Cataldi says. “They have the German beers there and authentic German food that they source from deep into Pennsylvania and from Germany itself.” To the southeast and across the Susquehanna, the annual Conklin Town Fair draws thousands of attendees for a three-day stretch of games, rides and events. “We’ve got something going on every single week,” Cataldi says. During the holiday season, Kirkwood Hometown Christmas schedules activities, contests, tree lightings and more.SUNY Upstate Medical University sits on the east side of the neighborhood, which hosts transfer and graduate-school students. On the same grounds, the New York State Inebriate Asylum is more than 150 years old and sits vacant, though plans have been discussed to renovate the building ; it’s on the United States Register of Historic Places and is known as the Castle on the Hill. “It’s pretty cool,” Harrington says. “It’s a public area, and you can go drive up and check it out. It’s really cool architecture and a building on the grounds there."
Interstate convenience on the north side
Interstate 86 and Route 17 are concurrent in the area, and 86 runs through the northern side of the neighborhood before splitting with Interstate 81 in either direction. “It’s very convenient,” Harrington says. “It takes me two minutes from my home to hop on Interstate 86 and Route 17.” To the west, I-81 turns north, and to the east, it turns southward. “It’s just a minute or two from either highway, which is nice,” Harrington says. Public BC Transit buses run along Robinson and Court Streets.
Recreation on the water and dry ground
The waters of the Susquehanna River flow along the south side of the neighborhood, and it’s not uncommon to see boaters and kayakers offshore. To the west, across downtown, the Chenango River is typically used more for fishing. “It’s a calmer river,” Cataldi says. “There’s several drop-off points and there’s several points where you can land, such as Beer Tree Brew. You can park there, get off and then there’s the restaurant, where they make their own craft beer.”Near the middle of the neighborhood, Fairview Park’s playground and swimming pool are complemented by sports facilities like a baseball field, tennis courts and two basketball half-courts. Close to Court Street, Howard Avenue Park branches off Robinson Street, a linear green space amid the street of the same name. Past Colesville to the northwest, Nathaniel Cole Park sits less than 15 miles away and has a lake spanning more than 50 acres, beaches, trails and more.
Suburban streets north of the Susquehanna
Walkable, gridded streets line Eastside Binghamton, which is mostly residential. “On the Eastside, you’re looking at older, Victorian-style homes,” Harrington says. “My home was built in 1890.” The angular Victorian homes sit alongside ranch-style houses and Cape Cods, as well as some duplexes. Homes in the neighborhood mostly date to the early 20th century. “There’s a lot of really good character and charm that you’re going to find in those Eastside homes,” Harrington says. Single-family home prices typically range from $120,000 to $160,000, but can dip to $75,000 or go for closer to $200,000. The neighborhood earns a CAP crime score of 4 out of 10, equivalent to the national average.
Making baskets at Binghamton High School
Calvin Coolidge Elementary School begins education for Eastside Binghamton students, located in the center of the neighborhood amid its residential area. As such, it’s walkable from some nearby homes, and receives a C-plus from Niche. East Middle School is situated northwest of Coolidge Elementary and earns a C. Graduates then head west across the Chenango to Binghamton High School, which scores a B with Niche. Its boys’ basketball team scored a championship in 2024, and the area’s high school hoops tournament is set to return to the Visions Veterans Memorial Arena, just east across the river, in 2025.
