Cornhill
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.
