Lysander allows for country living just outside Syracuse
Lysander weaves secluded Upstate New York living with the character of an old-fashioned village and the convenience of a planned unit development. This wide-ranging Onondaga County community offers distinctly rural sections, where homes are spread out among farmland and open meadows. It also includes part of the more suburban village of Baldwinsville and encompasses the planned community of Radisson. Lysander is just over 20 miles from downtown Syracuse, but remains a respite from the city. “It’s a very attractive community,” says local broker Adrian Nugent, who’s with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CNY Realty and has over 30 years of experience. “It gets really cold there in the winter, but [in the fall] it’s stunning.”
Lysander features a mix of ranch-style and colonial homes across quiet streets.

Lysander’s broad array of homes is constantly expanding
The Lysander area, including Baldwinsville, features some farmhouses and colonial-style options built in the 1800s. The community also has a wide selection of colonials and ranch-style homes built across the mid-20th century. New construction is steadily popping up, too, including in the Timber Banks subdivision, by the golf course of the same name. “You can’t even get a lot in there, it’s so busy,” Nugent says. The Radisson development dates to the 1970s, but it also has new construction. All homes there line wide, winding residential streets, and the area also houses a job center in the 950-acre Radisson Corporate Park. “It’s got condos, rentals, it’s a mix of everything. Single-family housing,” Nugent says of Radisson. “That’s its own community.” Homes around Lysander under 3,000 square feet, including those in Baldwinsville and Radisson, typically sell for anywhere $90,000 to $870,000 based on the age and condition. The community’s largest homes can garner $880,000 to $1.3 million. Radisson’s townhomes and condos sell for $180,000 to $370,000, and the development’s monthly HOA fees run from about $70 to $320.

B’Ville Diner is one of the landmarks downtown, open since 1934 and filled with 1950s-era decor, complete with jukeboxes. “They just have a good reputation,” Nugent says. “Big meals, very reasonable prices. Any time you go by there it’s packed.” The Angry Garlic restaurant has a variety of signature burgers, including The Bees, with cheddar, crispy onions, greens, jalapeños, honey garlic barbecue sauce and honey mustard garlic.
