"Founded in 1848 along the shores of the Seneca River, picturesque Baldwinsville, New York is a village that's rich with Civil War history. Today, it's the scene of a number of annual cultural events, including Seneca River Days Festival and an Oktoberfest that's popular statewide."
When you first get to Baldwinsville, you might be taken aback by its picturesque, old-world village appearance. Surely no American city can live up to such an image -- or can it? In the case of Baldwinsville, it can, and does. Characterized by its exceptionally beautiful waterways, locally-owned businesses and inviting residential areas, Baldwinsville has an intense civic pride that helps it to wear its years graciously. Mindful of its rich history as a navigational point for boats along the Seneca River, Baldwinsville is also appreciative of its Civil War heritage (there's a monument in the local cemetery where the names of dozens of hometown boys are inscribed). Its links to the past are reflected in the wealth of quaintly-named historic buildings such as the Red Mill Inn (4 Syracuse St), an authentic gristmill that's been brought back into service as a hotel. Even with its heavily historic atmosphere, however, Baldwinsville is no backwater, and living here is never boring. Locals busy themselves with a roster of convivial annual festivals, and amuse themselves every summer with concerts and shows at the amphitheater in nearby Paper Mill Island. While it's not a center for big business, it doesn't need to be, because area business types prefer to live in Baldwinsville and commute to the big city, leaving the concrete jungle behind at the end of a long workday. If you do need a dose of modern urban civilization from time to time, you're just 15 miles from Syracuse and 200 miles from Manhattan. If you don't need shopping malls or big box stores, however, you'll probably find that you have everything you want without even leaving the village. See more
Baldwinsville apartments with garages are sometimes more expensive than other options. However, they may make more financial sense in the long run.
Weather, break-ins, and daily struggles to find a space can take a toll financially and physically. Remember that even cities in mild climates experience issues like salt air, tornadoes, hail, falling branches from storms, and other issues.
It’s also possible to score an auto insurance reduction if you park in a garage. Ask your insurance provider about any deals or discounts that could trim money off the cost of your monthly bill.
Before signing a lease, ask the landlord or property manager about any restrictions on garage use. It’s important to know if there are enough spaces for tenants and visitors and what happens if the garage is full. If you’re moving into an apartment inside a home, ask about any conditions on its use and if storage is allowed.
