Upstate NY is a great place to live, work and raise a family – in fact Syracuse, NY was named as one of the top 5 places to raise a family and also one of the most affordable places to live. Syracuse, Rome and Central New York offer more than that though, especially if you like the outdoors. Within a short drive in every direction you can find beautiful parks, rivers and lakes. If you’re looking for something a little more lively, Turning Stone Casino, Destiny USA and Syracuse’s Armory Square district are also not far. Many towns and cities upstate are rich with history, art, and culture as well, featuring many museums, art galleries, and performance centers of all types.

Below we’ve compiled a list of links and resources related to Upstate NY’s wonderful offerings.
