Many cultures are represented in Cornhill
Cornhill is a neighborhood in the Mohawk Valley of Utica, New York. Realtor Alen Zekic of Assist2Sell Buyers & Sellers 1st Choice says the area has an abundance of different cultures. “It feels like the United Nations,” he says. The multiculturism is reflected in the local eateries — there are more than 10 different ethnic restaurants. Realtor Rocco DePerno of Century 21 One Realty NH echos Zekic’s statement. “It’s a cultural melting pot,” he DePerno says. “It’s very diverse in a great way.” Demand for homes in the area has grown over the past 20 years, Zekic adds, due to affordable housing and the proximity to the Chobani Foundation, where many residents work, headquartered in nearby Norwich, New York. Founded in 1734, Utica has a rich history, including being a stop on the Underground Railroad.
An ideal spot for starter homes
The housing stock in Cornhill is made up of duplexes, three-deckers and Victorian apartments. Homes tend to cost between $57,000 and $220,000. DePerno says the area is ideal for first-time home buyers, but prices have changed drastically over the years. “You used to be able to find a home for $40,000 to $60,000. The prices have tripled over the past seven to eight years.” He adds that Utica as a whole has recovered from a long period of economic downturn that the region experienced during the mid-20th century. “Utica has been massively improved over the past 10 years,” DePerno says. “It has grown from a less expensive area to an area in demand,” he says. Another draw for some homebuyers is that there are no HOAs in Utica.
