A sought-after Albany suburb
Latham is a popular suburban community less than 10 miles from Downtown Albany. This hamlet of almost 14,000 residents is one of the many sought-after areas in the Town of Colonie. "Latham is more affordable than Loudonville," says Samantha Culihan, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Prime Properties. "You can go just a mile down the road and have more affordable homes, so Latham ends up attracting a wider audience, including first-time homebuyers and families."
However, home prices may be one of the only deciphering factors between Colonie's most desired neighborhoods. "There are no clear boundaries," says Jessica Baxter, a Capital Region native and licensed real estate salesperson with the Core Real Estate Team. "You can drive from Loudonville to Latham and not even realize it. They both have highly-rated schools, nearby highways and conveniently located amenities." With quick access to New York State's capital, Latham attracts a mix of healthcare, education and government employees looking for a quiet, family-oriented community.
The community of Latham spans numerous neighborhoods and continues to grow.
A beautiful place to live and experience the fall in NY state is Latham.

20th and 21st-century homes
Quiet tree-lined streets give way to well-maintained suburban subdivisions. Older 20th-century styles include Cape Cods, bi-levels, split-levels, Colonial Revivals and ranch-style homes. These homes typically range from the low-$200,000s to the mid-$500,000s. Other streets give way to 21st-century New Traditionals and Colonial Revivals with prices that can reach into the $700,000s. Latham's surge of new construction highlights the area's continued growth. "The taxes are much lower than in the city, which is another draw for homebuyers," Baxter says. A handful of properties can sell for over $1 million, with spacious lots on the outskirts of Latham. The median list price hovers around the upper-$300,000s, slightly below the national median.
Latham offers a variety of homestyles such a modern colonials.
Many residents also enjoy the new construction that comes with community's growth.

The park is also home to the Latham Center for the Arts, a music school that offers lessons for children and adults. Numerous green spaces, trailheads and entertainment options, like the local bowling alley, are scattered around town.
The Crossings Park of Colonie is the community's largest green space. Walking trails weave past a large pond, a maze for kids, a playground, a community center and a fitness center. The grounds also host a seasonal Saturday morning farmers market that runs from May to October. "Colonie has a number of small-town events," Culihan says. "The local fire department rides around with Santa around the holidays, and we have our own community tree lighting. There's really no need to go downtown if you don't want to."
The nearby Schuyler Meadows Club is a members-only country club featuring an 18-hole golf course, an outdoor pool, and tennis and pickleball courts. A different kind of green awaits residents outside of the metro area. One of the Captial Region's largest draws is its diverse topography and scenic landscapes. Rugged mountains with miles of trails are accessible north and south of the city, while spots like Lake George are popular summer getaways.

Shopping and dining along Loudon Road
According to Baxter, one of the biggest draws to the area is its proximity to amenities. U.S. Route 9, or Loudon Road, is Colonie's main commercial corridor, with dozens of chain grocers, big-box retailers and restaurants. Additional chains, locally owned cafes and eateries line both sides of Wolf Road, a few miles south. Casual and fine-dining restaurants offer a diverse food scene, with flavors ranging from American to Afghani. Crossgates Mall, the biggest indoor shopping center in the metro area, is about 7 miles away.
