Elmwood Home for Rent

As a collar neighborhood of Downtown Syracuse, Elmwood offers a more tranquil, family-friendly vibe than its other city counterparts. “Elmwood is a quieter neighborhood in Southside since it’s on the edge of Syracuse,” says local broker Itay Sapir with SAP Real Estate Group. “There are a lot of dead-end streets, so there’s not as much traffic.” Residential streets with simple, folk-style homes define this pocket of the Salt City, fostering a laid-back atmosphere while keeping residents connected to picturesque outdoor spaces—like the popular Onondaga Park—and the vibrancy of Downtown. Well-maintained residential streets, lined with sidewalks, welcome residents to their homes in Elmwood. “Elmwood mainly has traditional two-story homes,” Sapir says, noting that most of the neighborhood was built up in the early 1900s. Vernacular workers cottages are most common for architectural styles, scattered amidst colonials, bungalows and craftsman-style homes. Many foursquares have been converted into apartments or two-family homes. Typically, prices range from $32,000 to $242,000. Sapir says Elmwood’s lower prices compared to surrounding communities are another draw to the neighborhood.
