Saratoga is a rural community located 10 miles east of Saratoga Springs that offers homes with large lot sizes and plenty of opportunities to get lost in nature. “You get peace and quiet out there without a lot of traffic and neighbors,” says Harold Reiser III, an Associate Broker with Julie and Co Realty, who’s been selling homes for over 25 years.
The neighborhood features a wide variety of homes, from 19th and 20th-century ranches and colonials to newer contemporary styles from the past 20 years. “There’s no big development happening in the area, what’s here is already established,” says Reiser. These homes tend to have long driveways with garages and sit on up to 20 acres of land. There are also several houses that sit along the Saratoga Lake, Fish Creek and Hudson River waterfronts. Prices vary heavily in the area depending on the age of the home and the lot size. Older homes typically sell for between $250,000 to $500,000, while newer properties typically sell for between $1 million to $2 million.
The Schuylerville Central School District serves the neighborhood’s students with a collection of highly-rated schools, all earning a B-plus rating from Niche. Kids may start at Schuylerville Elementary School before transitioning to Schuylerville Middle School. Students may then attend Schuylerville Junior/Senior High School, which offers unique extracurricular clubs like the ski and snowboard club and the mock trial team.
Saratoga National Historical Park is the largest outdoor attraction in Saratoga. The area is best known as the site of the Battles of Saratoga, which is thought to be the first significant victory for America during the Revolutionary War. This 3,400-acre park was established by the National Park Service in 1938. Saratoga National Historical Park has over 10 miles of trails and a visitor’s center where you can learn more about the area’s history. Plenty of fishing opportunities are available nearby at Saratoga Lake, Fish Creek and the Hudson River. The Saratoga Lake State Boat Launch feeds into the watershed and offers plenty of car parking.
The closest grocery store is a Dollar General in the north end of town. For access to major retailers, drive 10 miles west on State Route 29 to Saratoga Springs. Saratoga has several popular local businesses like Byron's Village Market, a grocer that’s been open since 1925. Just Meats Deli & Market is a family-owned butcher shop off State Route 29 that also serves soups and sandwiches. There are also popular local restaurants like Farmer’s Daughters’ Drive In, which has been a staple in the area since the 1960s, and Old Saratoga Eatery with a lengthy breakfast-lunch-and-dinner menu.
The Turning Point Parade and Festival is a unique event in the town of Schuylerville. The event, which commemorates the American Victory at the Battle of Saratoga, occurs every August and offers live music, vendors and carnival games.
The rural streetscape of Saratoga makes the town car-dependent. State Routes 4, 29 and 32 cut through town and provide easy access to the surrounding area. Route 4 offers a straight shot to Albany that takes less than an hour by car.
