For those into cemeteries, there's Oakwood Cemetery overlooking the city. One of the oldest in the nation.

Thanks for the video. Good information. Troy has a great history and historic urban core. It has had very real struggles, but is on the rise.

Hoosick St is a parking lot during rush hour. Taxes are insanely high. RPI is on a hill and no matter the direction you walk, it's uphill. Winters are brutally cold.
@livinginAlbanyNY6 ай бұрын
Agreed on Hoosick. Up hill both ways can’t be accurate. Winters have been very mild lately.
@markferguson37453 ай бұрын
Yeah, those hills are awesome in winter, especially since the city doesn't plow or spread salt.

I live on one of the back hills of Troy NY, and it does flood up here. A lot of water exists on the hill even back towards Wynantskill, high water table and the clay soil doesn't help. You also forgot to mention the pot holes, even though it seems Troy is constantly paving.

Born in Troy, NY. Lived in the Capital Region for 40 years. Moved away 20 years ago. I'm curious about what has changed but no plans to ever go back. New York is best seen in the rearview.

Grew up in Rensselaer County. I miss the Troy of my youth in the 1960s and 70s. HVCC got me started. In NC now, I miss the NE.

I was born in Troy,NY and lived there most of my life….like things of my generation back then (60’s-90’s) the city has definitely seen better days! Still the city does have lots of historical architecture and it’s incorporating the new buildings along with the old buildings (rehab).Again,for me all that’s left are the memories sad to say 😢..Like most cities CRIME has certainly settled in and seems to have taken a foothold 😮TOO BAD!!

CON - your property taxes will be double (or more) what you'd pay in comparable houses almost anywhere else.

Your content is great, but you could use more visuals to show what you're describing in the voice over. I feel like I'd get a much better feel for the aspects of the region you're describing if you shared your screen and went through google street view or photos from google maps.

The Bronx has more population than most states in rustbelt JD Vance methland. Ohio has 50% of its 1950 population. Upstate NY is mostly Walmart, prisons, and snow.

Realtors will distort the facts to sell any properties, once they collect dah commission you'll never hear from them again. Same as used car salesmen. Only as good as next check
