A small, bucolic New York community with local pride
Sandwiched between Endicott and Johnson City in New York’s Southern Tier, Endwell offers a slower pace and more rural setting than its larger counterparts. “Endwell is a smaller community, but that’s what they pride themselves on,” says local Realtor Laura Melville of Warren Real Estate. “One of the main roads coming into Endwell is called Farm to Market Road, which is a good description of the town: you go from the country feel and rural farms in the outskirts to the more populated city center.” Lively restaurants and local businesses balance out the bucolic landscape teeming with recreational opportunities here.
Along with the green of surrounding farmlands, blue and gold are just as prominent colors in Endwell due to local pride in Maine-Endwell Senior High School. “One of the first things that comes to mind about Endwell is its school spirit — it’s Spartan Country,” Melville says, adding that the Maine-Endwell Senior High School’s athletic department put the city on the map when the school won the Little League World Series 10 years ago. “That was their claim to fame in the last decade, but the school’s rating is still one of the best in the area.” Every year, Endwell’s East Main Street gets draped in blue and gold for the high school’s homecoming parade, an event highlighting the city’s small-town feel. “Whether you have kids in the school or not, the whole community is part of it,” Melville says.

Endwell is known as the farm to market city, and even larger supermarkets like Price Chopper carry produce from local farmers.

Modern homes in a competitive market
Endwell was developed later than Endicott, Johnson City and Binghamton, and therefore features newer homes than in the surrounding cities. “Most of the homes were built a little later than those in greater Binghamton and are a little more modern than the rest of the area,” Melville says, noting most of the development happened between the 60s and 80s. She emphasizes that regardless of whether potential homebuyers are looking in the city’s rural or urban neighborhoods, they should expect a particularly competitive housing market. “It’s a tough market to get into because it’s a small community with desirable schools,” she says. The median home price in Endwell is $215,000 and homes stay on the market for an average of 26 days.
Split-level homes are very common in the more rural areas of Endwell.
A popular home style in the urban areas of Endwell is ranch style, which can be found everywhere.

Education in the highly rated Maine-Endwell Central School District
Students here may attend schools within the Maine-Endwell Central School District, which earns an A-minus grade from Niche and is ranked the third-best school district in Broome County. Kids may begin their education at one of two elementary schools, the A-minus-rated Homer Brink School or the B-rated Maine Memorial School, before advancing to Maine-Endwell Middle School, which earns a B-plus. Of course, the A-minus-rated Maine-Endwell Senior High School is a community cornerstone and a draw for families. The high school ranks highly across teachers, clubs and activities, and sports. The nearby Binghamton University, including its subsidiary schools like the School of Pharmacy in neighboring Johnson City, provides higher education and is a major employer in the greater area.

From scenic trails to the bustling Highland Park
Endwell’s greenery lends itself to many natural recreational spaces, including a plethora of public parks and hiking trails. The IBM Glen Nature Preserve hugs the city’s east side and offers scenic trails leading to breathtaking waterfalls. Centrally located, Highland Park is one of Endwell’s main public parks. The tract’s playground, soccer fields and striking carousel are used year-round, while its pool is open seasonally. The park is also a hub of community events, including a Fourth of July celebration. Brixius Creek Sports Facility and Struble Sports Facility offer additional athletic fields and recreational areas, and the Binghamton Country Club is a big draw for golfers.

Lively diners and convenient shopping centers
Local businesses, restaurants and shops cluster mostly along East Main Street and Hopper Road. Community fixtures include locally-owned Riverdale and Broadway Diner. Set in a neon-lit building, Broadway Diner serves up American classics for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including stacks of pancakes and loaded burgers. Best Bagels In Town appears to live up to its name: “It always has a line of cars into the road and draws a lot of people,” Melville says of the bakery. Across the Susquehanna River in Willow Point, Town Square Shopping Mall and Parkways Plaza Vestal are home to big-box retailers and convenient shopping options, with names like Walmart, Target and Sam’s Club. Grocery options closer to home include Price Chopper and Weis Markets.
