Salina, NY Condo for Sale

Salina is a suburban town on the shore of Onondaga Lake, just north of Syracuse. Salt production stimulated the early economy, but these days, more people work in health care and education. Five smaller communities, including Galeville and Liverpool, make up the town. Housing styles and prices vary, with fixer-uppers selling for under $100,000 and sleek modern homes and 1800s farmhouses fetching prices in the mid-$500,000s to mid-$600,000s. Some Liverpool and Galeville properties offer lake views. Older homes usually require higher maintenance costs, and most lack garages, which can be inconvenient during central New York's cold, snowy winters. Students attend schools in highly rated districts, including Liverpool Central and North Syracuse Central. Major area employers include Syracuse University, Upstate University Hospital, Le Moyne College and the Amazon Fulfillment Center. You can fish, kayak, jog or ride your bike at Onondaga Lake Park, which also features pickleball courts, a skate park and Wegmans Playground. Long Branch Park is popular year-round, and summer and fall leagues take the fields at Hopkins Road Softball Park. Local restaurants and pubs like The Retreat and Cobblestone Ale House serve as community gathering spots. Groceries are available at Wegmans and Aldi. Exhibits at the Salt Museum offer a taste of history.
