Streets lined with history near the river
On the banks of the Susquehanna River, the Far West Side is somewhat sandwiched between Johnson City and Binghamton and comprises the western edge of the latter. The neighborhood is largely residential, with a few parks and local eateries mixed in, and is mostly lined with older, historical homes. “There's a lot of nostalgia associated with the west side of Binghamton,” says Keith Arnold, a licensed real estate salesperson with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. “Binghamton is an old industrial town. It started in the early 1700s. That's kind of like where a majority of everything started and spread out from there and formed the Triple Cities area.” The Triple Cities encompass Binghamton, Johnson City and Endicott.
Beautiful views are of abundance in the Far West Side community.

A museum of sight, sound and mind
One of Binghamton’s most notable claims to fame is its numerous connections to the iconic television series "The Twilight Zone," as show creator Rod Serling grew up in Binghamton. George F. Johnson Recreation Park and its carousel are said to have influenced several aspects of the episode “Walking Distance,” commemorated by a plaque on the bandstand and paintings in the carousel. At the Bundy Museum of History and Art, an exhibit dedicated to Serling showcases some of his personal memorabilia, as well as props and items related to the iconic shows. The museum also hosts events, features other rotating exhibits and more.Less than two miles across the river, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies play minor-league baseball at Mirabito Field; notable players for the New York Mets’ AA affiliate have included David Wright, Jacob deGrom, Pete Alonso and Jose Reyes. The Binghamton Black Bears play in the Federal Prospects Hockey League, while the Binghamton Bulldogs compete in the American Basketball Association.
The Bundy Museum has some of the original artifacts from the original Twilight Zone.

Homes with historical significance
Homes in the Far West Side span a wide variety of architecture. Some streets might be lined with American Foursquare properties, while other common styles include Victorians and Tudors. Still others play host to a mix of colonials, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes, and there’s also some duplexes mixed into the streetscapes. Most houses in the Far West Side date to 1950 or earlier, and many of the older homes sit along Riverside Drive. “They have a lot of historical significance to the area,” Arnold says of the Victorian homes. “A lot of the founders of the Binghamton area had their housing in downtown Binghamton, so all of those original Victorian homes are still standing to this day.”Single-family homes are still the predominant housing style in the area and typically range between about $100,000 and $300,000. More expensive outliers have sold for between $350,000 and $500,000. Binghamton University, southward across the river, has heavily influenced the area by way of student housing. “The off-campus housing community is huge,” Arnold, an alumni of the college, says. “Ever since I graduated, they’ve about doubled in size.”
The Far West Side community has some Victorian styled homes that are over 100 years old.
Homs of all shapes and sizes make up much of the Far West Side community.

Riding the carousel at Recreation Park
At George F. Johnson Recreation Park, outdoor activities include swimming in its pool, making serves at a row of tennis courts and playing baseball at Sheehan Baseball Field or a Little League diamond. Paths radiate out from a bandstand on the north side, and a large, indoor carousel is the park’s most defining feature. West End Park has two ballfields, a trio of tennis courts and a pair of half-basketball courts. To the southeast, just across the Memorial Bridge, Confluence Park sits at the meeting point between the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers; from the park, visitors can look out over the water and roam its paths. To the south of the Far West Side, Crocker Island is a part of a series of small islands in the Susquehanna.

A pizza place and pub side-by-side
Near the center of the neighborhood, Abel’s Pub is open into the wee hours of the morning and has a roster of regular customers. Besides the pub’s traditional fare and stocked bar, patrons can even get a fresh slice or pie delivered from Pizza Nia’s next door. "It was somebody's house, back when it was allowed to have a bar in your house," says Linda Kent, an independent broker with Linda Kent Real Estate, adding that the bar is on the bottom floor. "It's a draw for all the West Siders. When they leave and come back, they always go back over there to Abel's." Piccolo’s Café starts the day off with breakfast food on Main Street, while Sugar Lips Ice Cream Shop serves up frozen treats just west of the neighborhood. For groceries, residents stop in at the Price Chopper on Glenwood Avenue, peruse the locally-owned Banyan Grocers’ Indian fare or head to a Wegmans less than three miles northeast. Other stops include a Walmart Supercenter in Johnson City and a Target in Vestal, both under seven miles away.

Access to Interstates 81 and 86
The eastern section of Interstate 86 runs to the north, stretching from Binghamton to Windsor. Via an interchange near the river, it’s partially concurrent with Interstate 81 north of downtown before the two highways separate. I-86 continues east to Windsor, morphing into Route 17, while 81 runs all the way north to the Canadian border and as far south as Tennessee. “This area, in and of itself, has always been a crossway from other major cities within a 120-mile radius,” Arnold says. “It’s why the area got started. It’s a thoroughfare to other major cities.” BC Transit buses run down Front Street, Riverside Drive and other roads, and New York City is just under a 200-mile drive to the southeast. For medical care, the Guthrie Lourdes Hospital campus sits near the banks of the Susquehanna.
Interstate 86 can take you anywhere you would like to go in the Far West Side community.
Far West Side community residents have access to many different buses going all over town.
