Homes in Cohoes New York, in the Albany Region

Regina Sass
Cohoes is a city in Albany county New York and Cohoes is conveniently located to many destinations. It is on the border of Saratoga County, making it convenient to Saratoga Springs and the famous spas and race track and Rensselaer County where the Amtrak station is located. It is also less then 10 miles to Albany, making living in Cohoes and working in Albany New York a definite possibility.

When looking at homes in Cohoes New York, you will find mostly one family homes, although there is new construction going on with both one families and condos. Some of the homes in the lower price ranges are the same that you would find in Albany in that price range. They were all built at about the same time, but as you go up in price the styles change to more modern styles like ranches, cape cods and colonials. Most of the homes are on good size lots, with nice size yards.

There is not a great number of homes available, although you will have a good choice of styles. Make note of the square footage of the homes also. You can find a three bedroom home has less sq footage than a two bedroom home. It all has to do with the lay out. Also some styles like a cape cod are easy to expand. The second floor can be made into large rooms, so if you find one where that has not been done, it might be one of the best deals around, as long as you do not mind having the work done after. It will add to the value of the house rather quickly. You must make a list of what the most important features are to you and look at homes that have as many as possible. One thing when looking at homes, if you can be flexible on some issues, you will find a home faster and you might realize that something you thought was necessary was not so important after all.
