Located northwest of the city of Syracuse, right on the Seneca River, is the village of Baldwinsville. Known for its tranquil lifestyle and community spirit, Baldwinsville offers a more laid-back atmosphere, while only being about 20 minutes from Syracuse and 35 minutes to Lake Ontario. Paper Mill Island, in the center of the river, hosts concerts and family-friendly events—a highlight of the village. Other local events include Celebrate Baldwinsville and the Seneca River Days Festival.
The Baldwinsville real estate market also includes the town of Lysander and the town of Van Buren.
Officially designated as a village, Baldwinsville is made up of several small communities—from Village Green close to Onondaga Lake to Lysander in the northwest. Historically, the area has its roots in farming, with a significant portion of the surrounding area being forest and farmland.
Baldwinsville’s population currently sits at just under 8,000 people.
The real estate market of Baldwinsville is primarily made up of single-family homes, with some condos and, on occasion, vacant lots and land for sale. With its semi-rural feel, homes in Baldwinsville and its smaller communities offer residents a relatively quiet lifestyle with safe neighborhoods, which appeals to both families and retirees.
When it comes to homes for sale in Baldwinsville, there is quite a range in regards to price point, property size, and property features. Architecturally, properties are built in both bungalow—often ranch, depending on the year of construction—and multi-story floor plans, with traditional features such as siding and brick exteriors. New construction properties can branch out from the classic style of Baldwinsville’s ranch and Colonial Revival builds, incorporating elements of Modern Farmhouse and Craftsman (more prevalently) in their designs.
When it comes to square footage, older bungalows tend to be both smaller and more affordable, which are excellent choices for first-time home buyers. Central Baldwinsville and Lysander, for example, sometimes have historic properties on the market, with construction dates most commonly found in the 1940 to 1955 range, but can be built as early as the early 1900s. New neighborhoods, such as Timber Banks, offer special benefits, such as locations close to golf courses or community parks.
Additionally, real estate in Baldwinsville varies, from larger properties with acreage to family-friendly subdivisions close to main roads and the village center. Common features include well-sized front and backyards for kids and entertaining, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and amenities such as green spaces and community services. Baldwinsville also has a number of retirement communities.
Baldwinsville has a few unique highlights. Its downtown area is found at the intersection of East Genesee Street and Oswego Street, and offers local businesses and restaurants in historic buildings. First Presbyterian Church of Baldwinsville is a landmark of the village, as is the Bud Light Amphitheater at Paper Mill Island. For those of all ages, the Baldwinsville Public Library is a great place to spend an afternoon. They also hold programs and events.
Baldwinsville is part of the Baldwinsville Central School District and there are four public schools in the village itself: Van Buren Elementary School, Harry E Elden Elementary School, Theodore R. Durgee Junior High School, and Charles W. Baker High School.
