Saratoga & the Capital Region, New York
Living in Albany
The state capital, with historic brownstone neighborhoods.
Albany is New York's capital, and its historic neighborhoods — Center Square, Hudson/Park and the streets around Washington Park — are full of brownstones and row houses.
Lark Street's restaurants and bars, the Empire State Plaza and a steady government, university and hospital job base keep it busy.
