Why Live in Rensselaer

Rensselaer, NY, is a quiet commuter city located across the Hudson River from Albany, offering a more tranquil living environment compared to its bustling neighbors. The city features waterfront row homes and suburban subdivisions, with easy access to hiking and biking trails throughout Rensselaer County. Outdoor activities are a major draw, including the Empire State bike trails and nearby skiing opportunities. Local parks, such as Riverfront Park, provide skyline views and fishing docks. However, the presence of Dunn Landfill at the center of the city is a point of contention among residents due to smells, noise, and pollution issues. The Amtrak station in Rensselaer is a notable feature, providing convenient travel to New York City, although it contributes to noise in the waterfront area. Commuting to Albany is straightforward, with a quick 2-mile drive or bus ride across the Dunn Memorial Bridge, and Troy is 10 miles north via I-787. Dining options near the waterfront include Illusive Restaurant and Bar, Hot Dog Charlie's, and Skyline Diner, while shopping requires a short drive to a nearby shopping center with Walmart and Target. Housing styles vary from waterfront bungalows and row homes to suburban midcentury bungalows, ranches, and larger colonials with spacious yards. The local schools, Van Rensselaer Elementary and Rensselaer Junior/Senior High School, have average ratings, and the University at Albany's Health Sciences Campus is a significant local institution.
