North Utica
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.

Whitesboro High School has had success with college prep
Some elementary school-aged kids in the community can attend Kernan Elementary School, which has a Niche grade of C. John F. Kenedy Middle School Middle School would be the next public school, which has a Niche grade of B-minus. Whitesboro High School, a B-plus-rated school, has an 8 out of 10 by Great Schools for College Readiness. There are also four colleges and universities near the neighborhood, including Utica University.

The Utica Zoo is a local favorite
Utica Zoo, a year-round indoor and outdoor facility, is one of the popular green spaces and attractions for families and animal lovers alike. The zoo was founded in 1914 and is home to a 16-foot watering can structure, listed by the Guinness World Records as the world’s largest watering can. The zoo is part of Roscoe Conkling Park, which includes Valley View Municipal Golf Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones, Val Bialas Ski Area and hiking trails.

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.

Long-distance travelers can catch a plane at Syracuse Hancock International Airport and Albany International Airport. Amtrak provides train service from Utica’s Union Station.
