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.

What it’s like to live in Mansion Area
Historic grandeur defines Mansion Area, where imposing 19th-century homes create one of Albany's most architecturally significant neighborhoods near the governor's residence. Residents enjoy Washington Park's seasonal tulip displays and walking access to downtown employment. Though some buildings show years of wear requiring maintenance knowledge beyond typical renter experience, the trade-off comes in architectural details and craftsmanship unavailable in newer construction. The neighborhood's location provides the perfect balance of residential character while maintaining proximity to both government offices and cultural institutions.
