Syracuse’s trendy waterfront locale

Urban Great Location Lake Trendy Shopping Entertainment

As its name implies, Lakefront is nestled along the southern end of Onondaga Lake, blending natural beauty with urban living. Lakefront provides many residents with views of the lake or Syracuse's Inner Harbor, a small waterfront greenspace that has become a hub for this neighborhood, hosting concerts, fireworks, block parties, and festivals throughout the year. Many rentals in the area are lofts or renovated factories and mills, giving the area an industrial-chic vibe. Lakefront has a surprisingly low cost of living and there are rentals available for every budget.

Along with several trendy bars and restaurants, Lakefront is home to Destiny USA, the largest shopping mall in the state. This mall provides an intriguing blend of high-end outlet stores and an array of popular retailers, keeping residents coming back with wine tastings, a go-kart course, charity events, and live music. For even more shopping, dining, and entertainment options, residents head about two miles south to Downtown Syracuse. Great for renters who want to be close to campus, Lakefront is only three miles away from Syracuse University.
