Lodi, NY

Tucked along the eastern hills above Seneca Lake, Lodi is a quiet, tight-knit village in Seneca County with fewer than 300 residents. It offers a relaxed, rural pace surrounded by open farmland and scenic water views. State Routes 414 and 96A meet right in the center of town, making it easy to commute toward places like Geneva, Watkins Glen, or Ithaca while staying rooted in a peaceful community.

Living in Lodi means having both the water and wine country right in your backyard. Just down the road, Lodi Point State Marine Park provides boat launches, fishing spots, and great sunset views over the lake. Vineyards and farm stands line the hillsides along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, and spots like the local library help keep the community connected. It is a scenic, unhurried place to settle down if you appreciate small-town living and the outdoors.
