The small city of Oneonta is a secluded community amid the rolling hills of Upstate New York’s idyllic countryside. One of the most noticeable aspects of the city is the abundant Victorian and early 20th century architecture, both in numerous homes and commercial buildings around town. Home to both SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick College, Oneonta hosts a large population of college students, faculty, and staff members, imbuing the community with an artsy, bohemian spirit and an energetic college town vibe, particularly in the downtown district along Main Street. This area of the city is where you’ll find the community’s surprisingly diverse mix of hip coffeehouses, microbreweries, international bistros, art galleries, performance venues, and specialty boutique shops.

Neahwa Park and Wilber Park offer great opportunities to bask in the tranquility of nature, and the Copperstown Baseball World complex serves as a popular youth sports arena, drawing players from around the nation. Best of all, the rental market features many highly-affordable options, with houses, apartments, and condos available to fit any budget.
