    "Ok, however im not used to the city. Except theres not a lot of busses. Theyre are busses, just not a lot. So you need a car to get where a short 14min car ride takes over 1 hr to bus or over 2- more hrs to walk some places. Say if this was albany we could catch a bus every 15-20mins 7days a week, pretty much every block and get anywhere you want."

    " I’ve lived here for 10 years and it has been a very safe and enjoyable neighborhood to live in. The schools are very good both public and parochial. There is great access to shopping, groceries and restaurants. There are lots of parks, museums and rail trails in the area. The city also has the walkway over the Hudson which is a great attraction. Access to NYVc is easy and 1:30 minutes on the train with a ride along the Hudson River. Overall the area is safe. The four seasons give a great opportunity to enjoy the holidays. "
