Winkworth has relaxed suburban living on Syracuse's west end

Winkworth's wide, residential streets wind through hills and wooded yards on the far west end of Syracuse. Although only 4 miles from downtown and minutes from several shopping centers, Winkworth's location bordering the Bellevue Country Club lends it a quiet, suburban atmosphere. "People don't know about it, but once you know what it is, everyone loves it. Everything is right around Winkworth, but it's tucked away," says Chatarina Etoll, associate broker at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CNY Realty. "You can quickly get to downtown, the amphitheater, the grocery stores, the highway."

Recreation at Bellevue Country Club and public parks

The private Bellevue Country Club borders the neighborhood and has a challenging 18-hole golf course with rolling fairways. Founded in 1911, the club also has an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a kiddy pool and a fitness center. "It's a very historic country club, and one of the harder golf courses you'll find," Etoll says. "A lot of people in Winkworth belong to Bellevue." Several parks are also nearby. Among them is Burnet Park on Tipperary Hill, which has a pool, pickleball and basketball courts, playgrounds and trails. The park grounds are also home to the Rosamond Gifford Zoo, with hundreds of species of birds, mammals, amphibians and more on display.

Classic suburban styles on spacious, hilly lots

Some homes sit propped up on hills, while others sit at the end of cul-de-sacs or overlook the golf course. Bi-level, split-level and ranch-style homes from the mid-20th century are popular, as well as traditional and Cape Cod houses from the early 20th century. "It's very Middle America. You have first-time homebuyers, all the way up to families and retirees as well," says Chip Hodgkins, associate broker at Hunt Real Estate ERA. Properties typically sell for between $200,000 and $370,000.

Most students attend the Syracuse City School District

Most students in Winkworth are zoned for the Syracuse City School District. These students typically begin at Roberts Pre-K-8 School, which has a C-minus from Niche, and continue to B-minus-rated Corcoran High School. Corcoran offers career and technical education programs in subjects including Welding and Urban Teacher Preparation. Westhill High School is just across the street from the neighborhood, but students here aren't typically zoned for this facility. "People joke that if you can see Westhill, that's not your district," Etoll says. Students in the city school district also have the option to apply to and attend specialty centers, including B-minus-rated Syracuse Latin School and C-minus-rated Seymour Dual Language Academy.

Big-box stores nearby and more downtown

Price Chopper and Wegmans sell groceries off Onondaga Boulevard. The road also has chain restaurants like Taco Bell and McDonald's, as well as the locally popular Limp Lizard BBQ. This rustic bar and grill's decor is reminiscent of a Wild West saloon, and it serves brisket, chicken wings and sides like collard greens and cornbread. National chains, including Target, Marshalls and Ulta Beauty are a couple miles north. For more dining and entertainment, downtown Syracuse and venues like the Empower FCU Amphitheater at Lakeview and the JMA Wireless Dome are within a few minutes' drive.

Driving or taking the bus downtown

Driving the 4 miles to downtown takes about 10 minutes on Onondaga Boulevard. Downtown is also near Syracuse University and medical facilities like the SUNY Upstate Medical University. Syracuse Hancock International Airport is also about 9 miles north of the neighborhood. Although Winkworth is largely car dependent, Syracuse's bus system, Centro, runs routes along Onondaga Boulevard around the city.
