South Valley Houses for Sale

A small residential section about 2 miles outside of Syracuse’s city center, South Valley appeals to homebuyers seeking an affordable, laid-back neighborhood. “It’s great middle America because you can still buy a home for under $200,000 with singles and families all mixed together,” says Chip Hodgkins , an associate broker with the Hodgkins Home Team of Hunt Real Estate ERA. Although Syracuse University is nearby, just 1 mile to the north, South Valley isn’t defined by the college. "You can’t talk about the Valley, which is what we usually call it, without mentioning Gannons Isle Ice Cream and Green Hills Farms,” says Hodgkins, referring to the popular local eatery and market located near West Seneca Turnpike. “The turnpike runs across the Valley, separating North Valley from South Valley,” Hodgkins explains about the enclave’s northern neighbor. South Valley has a few small retail areas, such as Valley Plaza and Turnpike Centre. However, where Valley Drive intersects with West Seneca Turnpike, well-known local eateries draw visitors from across the city. The Deli on Valley is a counter-service spot popular for its pizza and sub sandwiches. Across the street, Gannons Isle Ice Cream
