The First Ward district lies two miles west of downtown Binghamton, across the Chenango River. Renovated historic Victorian homes line the streets, offering multi-family apartments for rent. The Southern Tier Expressway runs along the northern edge of the neighborhood, connecting residents to other Binghamton neighborhoods.

The commercial district of First Ward focuses on Clinton Street, with the eastern portion known as Antique Row. Locals wander this section to get a taste of what life was like back in the early beginnings of the city. Pick up a restored clock for your apartment from Old, Odd, and Unique, or find a period piece of clothing at Mabel's Boutique, then head to the Clinton Pub for a snack. Don your best dress and walk to the western end of Clinton Street to Tri-Cities Opera for a night of music.
