5 Walnut St

The west side of Binghamton provides a riverfront charm to this small New York State town. Residents love the numerous parks scattered throughout the neighborhood, including Valley Street Park, which features amenities such as a children's playground, a lighted softball field, two tennis courts, and open green space. Confluence Park, located where the Chenango and Susquehanna Rivers meet, remains a favorite place for walking and cycling along the river trail or just sitting on park benches and enjoying the view. Single-family homes and housing for students at nearby Binghamton University line the streets of Westside Binghamton, along with a sprinkling of historic mansions. Locals can reach downtown by crossing the Chenango River, just a short distance east of the area.
