Residential living north of Downtown Binghamton
Just above Binghamton’s downtown area, the Northside Binghamton neighborhood unfurls along the eastern shores of the Chenango River. Despite being a mostly residential neighborhood, it’s bisected into northern and southern sections by the concurrent route of Interstates 81 and 86, and residents aren’t more than a quick drive from the downtown area. America’s national pastime is a favorite of Binghamtonians, as Minor League Baseball’s AA-level Rumble Ponies play home games just south of the neighborhood and field future New York Mets stars. “There’s also things like Dick’s Sporting Goods being founded here and Rod Serling of The Twilight Zone being from here," says Douglas Harrington, a licensed real estate salesperson with EXIT Realty. The original location of Dick’s Sporting Goods is situated in Eastside Binghamton, while Serling is immortalized in the Bundy Museum of History and Art across the river in the Far West Side.
Fans pack Mirabito Stadium for Rumble Ponies ballgames
Just south of the neighborhood, baseball fans head to Mirabito Stadium for Binghamton Rumble Ponies games, the AA affiliate of the New York Mets. “Both of our minor-league teams are pretty popular, which is nice,” Harrington says. “It’s really cheap to go to games, so you’ll see a lot of family nights and stuff like that. I’m a big Mets fan, so it’s really cool to go.” Further south, the Binghamton Black Bears claimed the 2024 championship in the Federal Prospects Hockey League and play home games at Visions Veterans Memorial Arena. “They bring in good crowds and make it pretty accessible to families and patrons,” Harrington says. The annual Spiedie Fest & Balloon Rally has been held for 40 years and is held west across the river at Otsiningo Park.
Residents head beyond Northside Binghamton to dine out
At the corner of Doubleday and Chenango Streets in the southern half of the neighborhood, Happy Pappi Arepas Bar serves up authentic Venezuelan fare to its visitors and is one of the few restaurants within Northside Binghamton. Remlik’s Grille & Oyster Bar and Scoopy Dooby’s Ice Cream both sit just south. Several times throughout the year, Northside Binghamton residents don’t have to travel far to take part in food- or drink-centric walks and celebrations and, in doing so, visit multiple restaurants. “Definitely the Spiedie Fest & Hot Air Balloon Rally, which is nice,” Harrington says. “They have a Wine and Tapas walk, a beer walk within downtown Binghamton, Beer and Bites over the summer and a Martini Walk.” Just south of Lindsey Park, the Binghamton Plaza Shopping Mall is home to the expansive P&J’s Flea Market and some smaller outlets. Weis Markets stocks groceries about a mile east of the neighborhood.
The Broome County Farmers Market sits just across the river. “People rent that out for parties or weddings,” Cataldi says, adding that the adjacent Cutler Botanic Gardens also hosts events like weddings. “They can get married there and just walk over to the farmers market and have the reception.” The botanical garden itself grants free admission every single day, also providing guided tours, education on environmental issues and even programs for students to take part in.
Interstate convenience in the neighborhood center
Interstates 81 and 86 meet just west of the Chenango and concurrently bisect Northside Binghamton, flashing through the neighborhood before eventually separating east of the city. 81 winds its way up to the Canadian border and as far south as Tennessee, while 86 and Route 17 are partially interchangeable as they cross much of southern New York. Depending on the highway, each are also parts of routes that take Binghamtonians to Buffalo, New York City, Philadelphia and other major areas. Route 7 lines the eastern edge of the neighborhood and continues northeast, connecting to Schenectady, Rotterdam and the Vermont state line. BC Transit buses make stops along Chenango Street, which parallels the river.
Grid-like streets lined with homes
Northside Binghamton is home to a wide variety of architectural flair. American Foursquare, colonials, Cape Cods, ranch-style and Craftsman houses are among the designs found in the neighborhood. Single-family properties typically range from $75,000 to $150,000, while multi-family homes usually fall between $80,000 and $200,000. Residential streets also orbit Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School in the northern half of the neighborhood, meaning classes are a walkable distance from some homes. The streets and properties are laid out in a grid-like pattern and take up most of the neighborhood, aside from several parks, the highways and the Binghamton Plaza mall. “The Northside is mostly residential,” says Tara Cataldi, a real estate salesperson with EXIT Realty, adding that Otsiningo Park, technically across the river but a major destination for recreation and events, is technically part of the neighborhood. “Those are the streets that lead you out into the highway area.”
Skating, shooting hoops and more at neighborhood parks
The Chenango River runs along the western edge of Northside Binghamton, and in the southern half of the neighborhood Cheri A. Lindsey Memorial Park is one of the area’s largest green spaces. There’s a skate park for those inclined to extreme sports, as well as two basketball courts, a large pool, a playground and a lighted Little League baseball field. The smaller Phelps Park has a community garden in the northern half of Northside Binghamton, while river-goers set sail or cast lines in the Chenango. Along the river, the 1.5-mile Binghamton River Trail runs between Lindsey Park and Confluence Park, which overlooks where the Chenango and Susquehanna meet.
Education east of the Chenango River
Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School serves kindergarten through fifth grade, located in the northern half of the neighborhood and scoring a C-plus with Niche. Roosevelt Elementary is also ranked as one of the 100 most diverse public elementary schools of more than 2,600 across the entire state of New York. East Middle School follows, taking its name from its location in relation to the Chenango River and receiving a C. Binghamton High School concludes education for Northside students, also rating highly in terms of diversity and garnering a B from Niche. The school’s boys’ basketball team won the Section 4 Class AA championship in 2024.
