Affordable Walkable Cities: Albany | Troy | Schenectady — New York Capital District

Affordable Walkable Cities: Albany, Troy and Schenectady

We will look at cities that are just plain underrated. We will focus on specific neighborhoods that are walkable and bike-able to services and amenities within a reasonable distance. The 15 minute city in America?

What actually qualifies as Affordable? We will be looking at cities with average rent and median home sale price.

What qualifies as Walkable? The entire city doesn’t have to be walkable since that’s unrealistic but they must have at least several neighborhoods with a good walk, bike and transit score. The goal is to find an area within the city where you can absolutely live car free.

This may not be an affordable walkable city but instead an affordable walkable region;

I am talking about The Capital District of New York that includes the tri city area of Albany, Troy and Schenectady and some folks may throw Saratoga Springs in there as well.

As much as I enjoy exploring the big cities, it’s always nice to visit a smaller, walkable city with a more relaxed pace.
