‘Revitalized’ Upstate NY City Named Best Place To Live In US
A Capital Region city on the comeback and one of the state's best college towns have been named the best places to live in the nation. One of my favorite aspects of living in the Capital Region is it is not centered around one but three interesting cities. Albany, Schenectady, and Troy each have a vibe, great restaurants, arts, culture, and more, all unique to each city. All 3 have had their challenges over the years but have always been beloved by locals and revitalization efforts have led to one of the tri-cities being recognized as one of the best places to live in the nation!
