Endicott, NY

19 Apartments for Rent

Endicott has a very Italian-American feel to it, from the pizzerias and Italian bakery to the annual Little Italy Festival!

Named for a founder of the Endicott Johnson Shoe Corporation, Endicott is actually a non shoe-related village in Broome County, New York. About 13,300 residents live in the village (at the time of the 2010 U.S. Census), which is a stand-alone political structure within the town of Union. Union also used to be a village, but times change and some old friends grow a little too big for their britches, you know?

Moving to Endicott

It starts with one part electricity, one part Internet, another part cable and three parts trash collection, recycling and running water. How? With a call to the Village of Endicott, of course! They'll get you hooked up with water and a trash collection schedule, and if you are super nice, they'll be able to recommend the best local cable, internet and electrical companies as well.

Search for an apartment or condo for rent on the outskirts of the Historical District to find less expensive 1 and 2 bedroom apartments for rent. Going all out for big, beautiful rental housing? It's definitely the best option if you have pets, because you aren't going to find a lot of pet friendly apartments in Endicott. Nab an historical rental, and you'll be so pleased with the results that your smile won't fade for a year! Seriously, these are some awesome homes.

Neighborhoods in Endicott

As with most villages, it is difficult to separate Endicott into neighborhoods. However, there is one important area to consider here: the Endicott Historical District. This historical business section is actually leftover from the old village of Union. Now adjacent to Endicott, the locals prefer to think of it as an historical part of Endicott and not the other way around. You can start all the arguments you want on either side of the proverbial fence, but it won't get you far!

The village runs along the northern edge of the Susquehanna River and stretches northward, stopping just short of connecting to the Nanticoke Creek. There are a few little commercial centers scattered across the village, but the Endicott Historical District is arguably the best-placed for commercial amenities and valuable homes.

Endicott Life

Have you ever lived in a village, or have you only daydreamed about vast open spaces, clear, fresh air and small businesses? If it's the latter, you may be unaware of an important village-dwelling fact: public transportation does not happen in a small community! There's no Amtrak, and no subway system. It's all up you and your feet, or you and your car.

Speaking of, Endicott has an excellent WalkScore of 86, which means that, for the most part, you can accomplish your errands while out on a walk. So that's kind of neat, right?

Grocery, Food and Shopping

You're probably already aware that the Endicott Plaza isn't exactly 5th Avenue, New York City. Keeping that in mind, your shopping choices basically include the florist shop, the Dollar General and Radio Shack. And those can be fun.

As for groceries, they aren't quite so dire. In fact, when you include the Cider Mill Farm Stand, things are looking pretty good! Other grocery shops in the area include Weis Market and Fas Mart.

Dining out, you ask? The scene has never been better! You've got New Chinese Panda, Nick's Pizza, Jim Roma's Bakery, Oaks Inn, Consol Family Kitchen and all the Italian food you could ever dream of. There's even a Little Italy Festival once a year!
