Review of Albany, New York


Cold winters & poor job growth
Star Rating - 5/14/2006
Sure Upstate NY is scenic but this is not the place to begin a career, the area is in a long-term depression due to lack of new jobs and general government policies/taxation that have crated a stagnant business environment. There are inexpensive homes in upstate NY but unless you are tied to NY with your career you should be looking for cheap houses in the sunny states, I lived in Albany for years and would not go back.
