Easy access to outdoor attractions in Frear Park
Residents can easily access the 247-acre Frear Park from the Troy neighborhood that shares its name. The City of Troy was once home to Samuel Wilson, whose meatpacking business supplied soldiers during the War of 1812 and is believed to have become the inspiration for the country’s national symbol, Uncle Sam. The city was largely an industrial town throughout the 1800s before seeing a period of decline in the 1900s. Downtown Troy has seen a recent population boom, attracting people to neighborhoods on the city’s outskirts. “The downtown area of Troy has gotten very popular, and now people are moving up into this area because it’s more affordable,” says Joseph Cardinale, a NYS Licensed Real Estate Agent with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, who’s been selling homes in Troy for over nine years.
Downtown Troy's proximity to the Hudson River helped it become a historic manufacturing city.

Frear Park receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 6-out-of-10, which is slightly higher than the national average of 4.
