East Utica is a unique Upstate New York area
With multiple housing style choices and many cultural cuisine options, East Utica is an ideal place for homebuyers who want to be immersed in an area considered the melting pot of Upstate New York. Lorene Prenderville of Coldwell Banker Prime Properties says a healthy mix of races exists. “There’s every nationality you can think of,” she says. East Utica is also known for its cuisine and affordable housing. Residents with an active lifestyle will appreciate all that there is to do in the area, including skiing, ice skating, concerts, visiting the various lakes and cultural arts.
The housing stock varies
Homes in East Utica range in price from $107,000 to $315,000 and many are 1,545 square feet with 7,840 square-foot yards. Much like the area eateries, there are several housing styles to choose from, like two-family homes, bungalows, ranch-style houses and colonials. “From one block to another, there are vast differences,” she explained. Vince Scalise of Coldwell Banker Faith Properties, John Brown Team, says the housing, mostly built in the 1950s and 1960s, can cost about $200,000.
With refugees from over 35 countries, the Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees (MVRCR), now “The Center,” has revitalized and stabilized Utica's economy since 1979. Vince Scalise of Coldwell Banker Faith Properties, John Brown Team, says The Center has been a “big part of keeping Utica going” and is a big reason Utica, as a whole, is a close-knit community. As a result, Rocco DePerno of Century 21 One Realty Partners says housing prices have been “coming in line” to reflect the demand.
