The streets of Southside East Binghamton, a primarily residential neighborhood, sprawl south of the Susquehanna River in central New York. Close to the South Mountain area, where homes cost significantly more, prices seldom exceed $250,000 and properties are almost exclusively situated along suburban streets across the river from downtown. Housing for those working at UHS Binghamton General Hospital, to the west on Mitchell Avenue, is a prevalent feature. “A lot of people move in the area because it’s a teaching hospital,” says Tara Cataldi, a real estate salesperson with EXIT Realty. “They will either buy or rent houses over there, and a lot of our traveling nurses live on the south side right now.” The proximity makes a short trip to the hospital possible, with some homes even within walking distance.

Wild animals and minor-league sports
Southwest of the neighborhood, the Ross Park Zoo houses endangered animals including red pandas, snow leopards and African penguins. It also offers a hands-on children’s museum with exhibits, activities and events. Across the Susquehanna, sports fans head to the Visions Veterans Memorial Arena in the winter and early spring for Binghamton Black Bears, who won the Federal Prospects Hockey League championship in 2024. During the spring, summer and early fall, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies play in Minor League Baseball’s double-A Eastern League and are currently managed by former MLB player Reid Brignac.

Housing close to UHS Binghamton General Hospital
Cape Cod and ranch-style homes are some of the most common architectural styles in Southside East Binghamton, along with some split-levels and multi-family residences. “Southside East is a little more stereotypical, where the homes are closer together,” says Douglas Harrington, a licensed real estate salesperson with EXIT Realty, who adds that properties there aren’t as large as those in South Side West. “Southside East and the East Side are pretty similar, in that sense of the houses aren’t on top of each other but they’re pretty close together.” Properties are rarely priced for more than $250,000, typically selling for between $150,000 and $200,000. The neighborhood receives a CAP crime index score of 4 out of 10, equal to the national average.

Playing basketball at Booth Field or Webster Street Park
The eastern end of Southside Park meanders across the western edge of Southside East Binghamton, running along the river. Kayaking and some boating are the most common pastimes on the Susquehanna’s waters. Booth Field sits on the west side, where its baseball diamond has a pair of basketball courts beyond its outfield walls. Alfred Street Park and the Benjamin Franklin Playground both offer equipment for kids to clamber over, while Webster Street Park has a large swimming pool. If residents aren’t there cooling off in the water, they can take to the tennis or basketball courts. Farther east, there’s sports facilities and green space at Sandy Beach Park along the water.

Baseball-inspired restaurant vibes
The Relief Pitcher is situated near the river and channels the area’s connection to baseball via its name and logo. The sports bar has TVs adorning its walls and a menu replete with burgers, salads, nachos and more. Farther west down Conklin Avenue, the Park Diner has riverside views for patrons, while towards the center of the neighborhood, the locally-owned Me-Ma’s Pizzeria serves up pies fresh out of the oven. A pair of Weis Markets are less than 2 miles away, one west and one north across the Susquehanna, while further shopping at Target, Walmart and Wegmans require a slightly longer drive away. All three store chains have locations between 5 and 7 miles west.

Education across both the Susquehanna and Chenango
Franklin Elementary School sits within the neighborhood and educates up through fifth grade, scoring a C with Niche. After graduation, most students move on to East Middle School, north of Franklin Elementary across the Susquehanna, which also garners a C rating. Enrollment then moves west, across the Chenango River, to Binghamton High School. Binghamton High receives a B and recently introduced the Patriots Aspiring to Succeed program, which helps ninth and 10th-grade students in the adjustment to high school learning.
Located on the east side of the city, East Middle School serves approximately 500 students.
