Small town with a historic feel
Just west of Downtown Syracuse, Camillus gives residents a small-town, historic feel and an easy commute into the city. “It’s very centrally located but it’s not as busy and hectic as some of the other towns surrounding Syracuse,” says Rena B. who has been a Camillus resident for over 30 years and works for one of the oldest libraries in the county. “It has a small-town vibe and it’s easy to drive around. Businesses are popping up so we’re getting more shopping too.”
