A community with "heart" near downtown
South Troy offers its residents a wide variety of housing options less than 2 miles from downtown Troy and other local touchstones like nearby colleges. For many, though, it’s the neighborhood’s warm, involved community that truly makes it special. “There’s just a great sense of community – a very strong community,” says Heather Hamlin Martin, a licensed real estate associate broker with Keller Williams Capital District who lives just north of South Troy in the Central South neighborhood. “It has very active neighborhood groups and there’s a willingness from long-standing residents to welcome new people and share experiences. It has heart.”
The people of South Troy show their town pride in many different ways.

Historical homes, a few new constructions
A small section of South Troy, situated to the west of 4th Street and north of High Street, feels more urban thanks to the businesses and rowhouses that line its streets. Beyond this little slice, the neighborhood gives way to a distinctly suburban feel. Detached Cape Cods, colonial-style homes and ranch-style homes with yard space make up most of the neighborhood. “Homes here are easily over a hundred years old,” Martin says. These homes can go for as little as $75,000 if they need a lot of renovation, while a fully renovated house sells for as much as $350,000. People who buy a two-family home in the neighborhood often live in part of it and rent out the other half. “I can’t stress enough the opportunity for people who want to invest and participate in an active community,” Martin says. South Troy also has a few new constructions, from townhouses with small yards and two-car garages to large Modern Farmhouse- or colonial-style homes that can cost as much as $925,000. Martin says that the market is competitive, and while homes sell at different rates depending on how well they’re priced, most go in 5 to 21 days.

Nearby hiking and South Troy Swimming Pool
North Greenbush Town Park offers baseball fields where Twin Town Baseball, a local Little League club, has its games and practices. Burden Environmental Park also hosts local baseball games. “The city has money from federal funds to redo the park on the corner of Canal and 3rd Street,” Martin says. “It was a little park, but they’re making it really nice now.” A few hiking trails in South Troy offer residents options when they want to hike or walk their dogs through the woods. The Narrows Cascade & Heritage Trail winds along the Wynants Kill stream, providing pretty views of the woods and water. During the summer, locals flock to South Troy Swimming Pool, which has two small water slides for the kids, for a chance to cool off and have fun despite the heat. About 9 miles from home, Peebles Island State Park offers 191 acres on an island where the Hudson and Mohawk rivers meet full of hiking trails and fishing spots, with plenty of gorgeous rapids and little waterfalls to capture visitors’ attention. During the winter, residents head to the park for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
