North Utica has small neighborhood charm
Separated by the Mohawk River, North Utica is a neighborhood in Upstate New York that was developed following World War II and first-time home buyers. The community’s homes were built for troops returning home from the war. Most of the housing stock consists of split-levels and bungalow homes located one mile from Downtown Utica. The median size of homes is 1,300 square feet with 10,000 square foot lots and the current list price range is between $135,000 and $416,000. Ninety percent of the area is residential, with very few commercial properties. But, as Lou DeMichele of eXp Realty put it, the area is in no way “a cookie-cutter neighborhood.” Additionally, available homes for sale are sparse or limited.
A chance to grow culturally
Utica is known as “The town that loves refugees.” Utica resettled 2,600 migrants from 2010 to 2020, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Utica has relocated nearly 17,000 since 1979. One in five Uticans are refugees or their children, according to the Fiscal Policy Institute. John Brown, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Faith Properties in Utica, characterizes the area as “a heterogeneous community.” “There’s a crazy mix of ethnicities,” he says. He adds that more than 50 different languages are spoken in the Utica region. Utica is also known as an Industrial Revolution manufacturing hub that, like many Rust Belt cities, suffered an economic downturn as the industries moved factories elsewhere. Population losses to the suburbs and nearby Syracuse also impacted the local economy in the mid-20th Century. The influx of refugees is partly responsible for the local economy's recent recovery due to the area’s low cost of living attracting the newer residents. According to Brown, the influx of new residents also created a “fabulous labor pool.” “They basically saved the town,” he says.

Take a trip around the world
The cultural mix has also afforded Utica with a diverse food scene. “It’s a wild food scene,” Brown says. “Utica is a food town.” Amy Mellace, a broker with Coldwell Banker Prime Properties, adds that the addition of new residents also created a need for more local shops and shopping. Most of the eateries are located on North Genesee Street and the fares range from Lebanese, Italian, New American and Asian. The North Utica Shopping Center provides the neighborhood with the necessary stores, such as Price Chopper, which is a grocery chain, a wine store, a nail salon and a Dollar Tree.
