In Marcy, winding roads cut through central New York greenery just off the Erie Canal. This Oneida County community’s diverse array of homes dot a landscape otherwise painted with dense thickets and lush grassland. All the houses in Marcy are close to places to enjoy the outdoors, whether picnicking by the water or tackling a round at Crestwood Golf Club.
The Marcy area has homes dating back to the turn of the 20th century, as well as a range of houses built between 1930 and 1990. There’s even the occasional option built within the current decade. Age aside, many homes stand on lots of at least a half-acre. Ranch and colonial are popular styles, sometimes with attached garages. Houses sell for $130,000 to $590,000, largely based on square footage.
Marcy’s location by the Erie Canal expands the types of recreation residents have access to. Locals can head to the waterfront for an afternoon at Lock 20 Canal Park, a spot with a spacious pavilion and a launch for canoes and kayaks. The park is also a popular place to fish. The Army Capt. George A. Wood Bridge takes people across the canal, where they can access the Empire State Trail for walks, jogs or bike rides along the water. Marcy Town Park features a playground, courts for tennis and pickleball, and hiking trails. Crestwood Golf Club, in the heart of Marcy, has an 18-hole course that’s open to the public.
Marcy is part of the Whitesboro Central School District, which gets a B-plus grade from Niche. Marcy Elementary has a PTO that supports events such as Breakfast with Santa and a “Beat the Heat” party, complete with free ice cream. Student activities at Whitesboro Middle include an esports club and a coding club. Whitesboro High has a computer science club and a mock trial group. All three schools maintain B-plus ratings of their own.
SUNY Polytechnic Institute is a higher education option in the area, with about 2,200 undergraduate students. Known as SUNY Poly for short, the school offers programs in accounting, computer science, mechanical engineering, nursing, and more, with faculty-to-student ratios of 13-to-1.
Though largely rural, Marcy neighbors the city of Utica , the seat of Oneida County. Utica has a more urban atmosphere and is home to amenities like the Wynn Hospital, located approximately 7 miles from Marcy. The Wynn Hospital includes a 24-hour emergency department. Drivers in Marcy can use New York state routes 49 and 365 to reach Interstate 90 for trips to Syracuse. The Syracuse Hancock International Airport, roughly 50 miles away, offers nonstop flights to over two dozen places.
Residents looking for a quick bite to eat can hit New York state Route 291 at the center of town for a visit to Marcy Bar and Grill. This local haunt is a place to sit down for pizza and wings, or to swing by on Fridays for the fried fish specials. The restaurant also has multiple TVs for game days. Killino's Riverside Diner, on Marcy’s eastern outskirts, is a hot spot for breakfast. Nearby Utica has many more options. The Riverside Center shopping plaza, 7 miles away in Utica, includes Five Guys and Applebee’s, plus Walmart, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply Co. and Bass Pro Shops.
Some of Marcy’s community traditions have an active theme. The area hosts events like the Boilermaker's Erie Canal Races in May, which features 10-mile and 5K courses that begin and end at Whitesboro High. Marcy is also home to the George A. Wood Memorial 5K Run and Walk, held in November. Wood was a Marcy native who was killed in Iraq in 2003. Money raised through the race benefits the George A Wood Foundation, supporting veterans and education.
