A small, up-and-coming community in New York

In Malta, residents enjoy the benefits of a shiny new community that's filled with a booming tech industry, great outdoor recreation and advanced academic programs. The Town of Malta has emerged over the past decade, giving the area a fresh, new feel, says Joli Chamberlain, a Realtor with RE/MAX Solutions, who has nearly two decades of experience in the Greater Capital Region.

Global Foundries is a major contributor to the area's development, according to Chamberlain. Residents have largely welcomed the semiconductor and nanotechnology manufacturer since it made Malta its home in 2021. Cindy Quade, a broker/owner of Signature One Realty Group, LLC, who has over three decades of experience in the area, also says Global Foundries has brought in a lot of businesses like daycares, dry cleaners and grocery stores. "We've got over 250 new businesses in Malta, so we pretty much have all the services that people need," she says. "And what I think is really special is that it still has a hometown feel."

New construction and natural backyards

Still, like much of the region, the housing market currently has a critically low inventory. "Homes stay on the market, one, two, maybe three days," says Chamberlain. On the upside, there is a lot of new traditional-style construction going on, which ranges from $450,000 to $650,000. Townhomes sit in the high $300,000s range, with wooded backyards. For single-family homes, the price range falls between $350,000 to 500,000, with ranch-style homes and colonials sprinkled throughout the neighborhood. Most homes have wooded backyards and modest driveways that lead directly to the road.

Well-regarded Ballston Spa Central schools

Picnics on the Saratoga Lake

U.S. Route 9, CDTA

Residents drive down U.S. Route 9 to get to most places like Market 32, which is the popular grocer in town, along with CVS Pharmacy and Allerdice Ace Hardware. Public transportation is provided by bus through the Central District Transportation Authority, which helps commuters get to surrounding areas like Saratoga Springs and Albany. While Saratoga County Airport is 7 miles away, most people use Albany International Airport, which is 21 miles away.

Local bites and beats

Locals head to Carson’s Woodside Tavern on U.S. Route 9 for scenic views, American fare and summer concert series. Nanola offers neighbors a cozy bar with trivia nights, live music every Wednesday and competitive games of pool. Azuma Sushi Bistro is where residents go for authentic Asian cuisine and food preparation performances, located off U.S. Route 9. There are also two popular breweries in the area, Active Ingredient Brewing Company and Unified Beerworks, where people visit for friendly convos over drinks.

Sit at the Speedway, shop at yard sales

Chamberlain lived in Malta for five years and says what she misses the most is how laid-back her neighbors were. "There are a lot of barbecues, family picnics and yard sales," Chamberlain says. "It's one large community." For a taste of Malta's hometown flavor, residents visit the heart of town, where the Albany-Saratoga Speedway is. Stock cars rip around a dirt track, thrilling crowds throughout the racing season. The Malta Drive-In Theatre offers an old-school cinematic experience, with two screens showing feature films and an extensive snack bar.

Saratoga Speedway is a top attraction for fun on the weekends for Malta residents.
