About This Home

As of April 2026

Rare opportunity on Cornell’s West Campus, bordering the beautiful Fall Creek neighborhood. Very short walk to Cornell, Cascadilla Gorge Trail, and waterfalls! Located outside of the designated flood zone! The main house can function as a 5-bedroom rental, or reserve the two rooms downstairs for full-size living and dining areas to create a comfortable home. Live in it yourself or capitalize on strong rental demand in this prime location. A fully rented 1-bedroom apartment in the rear provides steady income. Both units feature covered porches that offer a peaceful retreat with beautiful views and western-facing sunsets. University Avenue connects Ithaca’s vibrant community with the heart of Cornell. Conveniently located along the TCAT bus route 10: servicing Cornell and downtown.
