The greater Syracuse area is a gasp of fresh air from the hustle, bustle and congestion that characterizes most big cities. Syracuse is considered one of the country's "greenest" places to live with corporate partners like SRC — one of less than 1,000 LEED-certified buildings worldwide — setting the standard. Here, the suburban community is made of up several towns and villages with a housing market that offers a little of everything from the city to the country and everything in between. And, the cost of living is a fraction of that in major metropolitan areas. Take a tour of the neighborhoods.
It's no secret that education is a top priority in New York state and Central New York (CNY) is well-known for its abundance of top-quality school districts. Here is a breakdown of the 18 school districts in Onondaga County and the most recent school report cards from the state Department of Education.
The CNY area is also known for its great higher education institutions — Syracuse University, Cornell, Rochester Institute of Technology, among several others. There is also a fantastic state university (SUNY) system, offering you a chance to continue your education while working part-time or your children an opportunity to pursue higher education.
Life in CNY will redefine your family's idea of what a community can be. You'll spend less time commuting — as the trip from one side of town to the other is usually less than 30 minutes — and more time finding a healthy balance between work and play. As for recreation time with the family, the possibilities are endless.
Take a trip to the Adirondacks, 1000 Islands, Finger Lakes, Niagara Falls, or New York City — all drivable within 1- to 4-hours. Also be sure to check out:
Syracuse is a great place to raise a family and you'll discover a supportive community that will understand the challenges you encounter with children of all ages. Many SRC employees enjoy the camaraderie of getting together outside of work and like the outdoors, taking advantage of all four-seasons and the abundance of indoor cultural events. We offer our employees tickets to many of these functions and encourages community involvement through an employee volunteer program.
