Northwest Ithaca, NY

Set on the rolling hills above Cayuga Lake, Northwest Ithaca gives residents a quiet neighborhood feel right on the edge of town. With a population of just over 2,000 people, the area is known for its leafy streets, deep ravines, and scenic lake views. It offers a calm, spacious option for people connected to Cornell University or Ithaca College who prefer living in a more relaxed, wooded setting.

Everyday essentials and entertainment are a quick drive down the hill into downtown Ithaca, where you will find local restaurants, grocery stores, and community events. Children attend schools in the Ithaca City School District, and outdoor lovers have easy access to nearby state parks, boat launches, and hiking trails. Living here makes it easy to spend your morning exploring the gorges and still be downtown for dinner in ten minutes.
