Pine Hills
Pine Hills
What it’s like to live in Pine Hills
Students and nature enthusiasts flock to Pine Hills for its affordable housing options near the Albany Pine Bush Preserve, one of the Northeast's largest inland pine barrens. The neighborhood's duplexes and garden apartments offer easy access to SUNY Albany while maintaining a residential feel. Winter transforms the streets into challenging snow obstacle courses—experience with snow tires and strategic parking proves essential. The #114 bus provides reliable transit despite limited options after midnight.

Sheridan Hollow
What it’s like to live in Sheridan Hollow
Urban pioneers find extraordinary value in Sheridan Hollow, where Albany's newest renaissance transforms former industrial spaces into distinctive lofts with character unavailable elsewhere. The neighborhood sits literally in downtown's shadow, providing walking access to state offices and cultural institutions without premium pricing. Unlike newer developments, many buildings feature unexpected industrial elements like loading docks and freight elevators – particularly valuable for artists or musicians needing equipment space. The nearby Beaver Creek Clean Energy Center offers fascinating glimpses into urban infrastructure, while the developing Skyway project will soon connect the district directly to Clinton Square. For best value, consider ground-floor units – they sometimes offer private entrances and even small courtyard spaces rare in urban settings, while their slightly limited natural light translates to significantly lower rents than upper floors.
