Summer in Saratoga Springs is in full swing as its famous thoroughbred racing finally returns this week after a pandemic shutdown. And if horse racing isn’t your thing, this is still a great destination with a historic downtown area, natural mineral springs, and several national and state parks.

Another perk: The median sales price is $435,800, according to Realtor.com, so you can get more space for your budget compared to suburbs closer to the city. Right now you can find new developments with a suburban vibe, historic houses closer to downtown, and condos. 

The city is surrounded by Saratoga Lake, Saratoga National Historical Park, and 21 natural mineral springs like Island Sprouter in Saratoga Spa State Park. Downtown, you can shop and dine at local spots like Tatu Tacos & Tequila, 15 Church, Hamlet & Ghost, and Farmers Hardware. 

And if you’re thinking of relocating your family, the city’s public schools are well-rated and it’s the second best place to live in Saratoga County according to Niche. It’s also just a 40-minute drive to Albany and less than four hours from New York City.
