Van Buren offers suburban living near Syracuse
Bordered by the Seneca River on the north, Van Buren is a suburban community 10 miles outside of Syracuse in Central New York’s Onondaga County. Known for its residential atmosphere, the town is home to many pockets of neighborhood, subdivision communities and small clusters of country properties. The Seneca River, well-maintained public parks and seasonal sports programs provide locals with an active recreation scene, while nearby highways and surrounding cities provide easy access to urban amenities. “It’s a family-friendly suburb,” says Ryan Millard, real estate professional with over five years of experience at Coldwell Banker Prime Properties. “It has a great school district … and people have an easy commute to Syracuse.”

Van Buren has a broad range of home selections, from waterfront to new
With tree-lined streets and a forested backdrop, Van Buren has a rural-suburban setting with a mix of established neighborhoods, newer developments and country properties scattered throughout the more remote areas. The housing market has a diverse mix of architectural styles that span from the 1800s to the present day. Common styles range from historical cottages and colonials to modern ranch-style builds and New Traditional subdivision homes. Residences closer to the village of Baldwinsville often sit on quarter-acre to acre lots, while country homes can have bigger parcels that create a sense of seclusion. “All of Central New York is rapidly growing, and the town has lots of housing options, from townhouses to condos and new builds,” Millard says. Most single-family homes go between $130,000 and $500,000, while waterfront properties on the river start around $550,000 and can top at around $1 million. Condos and townhouses are in the $100,000 to $250,000 range.

Community parks and recreation programs provide residents with year-round outdoor opportunities. Van Buren Central Park features extensive sports facilities, a seasonal swimming pool and a fishing pond. Several miles north, Baldwinsville Community Park provides access to the Seneca River, which is popular for kayaking. Running parallel to the river, the 17-mile Erie Canalway Trail runs from Amsterdam to Schenectady, providing scenic walking and biking routes along the riverfront. For boating or sailing, residents can head to Onondaga Lake, which links to the Seneca River and has several marinas and a yacht club. Hikers often go to Beaver Lake Nature Center, which has a 9-mile trail network and a glacial lake. “Everyone goes there for the trails,” Millard says. In the winter months, the lake offers snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. For youth sports or fitness classes, Van Buren’s Parks and Recreation Department offers a wide range of seasonal programs and sports leagues.
Some Van Buren residents prefer to sport fish from a boat on the Seneca River.
