Fulton can be described as a happy medium between a city and a town. It's officially called a city, but it's on the smaller side. You can get lost here if your sense of direction is less than desirable, but the city is unlikely to swallow you up like the Big Apple might. There are nearly 12,000 people living here in this upstate city, however, so you won't know everyone like you might in a small town. That's okay, though. Knowing everyone's name is overrated.
With a smaller city like this, finding rental vacancies can prove just a little bit easier. You don't have the stiff competition common with a large city that gets droves of new residents every day, but you also won't face the super-low vacancy rates that mark some small towns. Of course, none of this means you can shrug off your apartment search. If you procrastinate too much, you just might end up with the bottom of the barrel rather than the rental of your dreams. Start looking 60 days in advance of your move.
