Review of Saratoga Springs, New York


After 4 yrs, I've concluded Saratoga is easily one
Star Rating - 2/29/2008
Four years ago, our family made the big move relocating from top rated Boston to Saratoga Springs and it has been the best decision of our lives. Saratoga is a great place to raise a family and experience the simple pleasures of life.

Saratoga is one of the fastest growing and most prosperous communities in New York State. It is ideally situated an equal distance between NYC, Boston and Montreal. The Adirondack Park is just 30 minutes North, Vermont Ski areas are within 90 minutes and you can be on Cap Cod in 4 hours; a place we continue to visit each summer.

Culturally, no small city in America can beat it from one of the most eloquent Main Streets featuring an array of festivals, top rated wine restaurants, boutiques, NYC style bistros, jazz bars and museums to the oldest thoroughbred race course in the United States (Est. 1863). There’s also the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) offering summer performances by the NY Ballet, Philadelphia Philharmonic, top rock groups and Annual Jazz and Wine Festivals and a fantastic state park.

From a family perspective, Saratoga offers top rated schools, thriving youth athletics and strong literary and spiritual communities.

And the best part about living in Saratoga...when you travel and mention to people you meet that you live in Saratoga, there’s inevitably a bit of envy in their voices as say “I’ve visited there and it’s an amazing or brilliant (in the UK) place!”
