Regina Sass
Rensselaer is one of only two cities in Rensselaer County, New York, the other one being Troy. Rensselaer City, New York is less than 4 miles from the State Capital of Albany. This makes it a place to look at homes for anyone working in Albany. Rensselaer is a small city, smaller than some of the surrounding towns and villages. The houses span the range from small homes built in the 1800's, much like the ones that are in both Albany and Troy, brick attached town houses and more modern houses like ranches and cape cods and there is a lot of new construction going on in Rensselaer in different price ranges and styles. With all this going on, Rensselaer has the appearance of a city that is going to grow, to get back to where it used to be and in that light, not a bad place for real estate investment. If the development of new homes takes off and the population starts to rise, there will be more of a demand for homes in Rensselaer.
