It's where i was brought up and raised and i love it!!! There are great places to go that are nowhere else to be found(Family owned food places, etc.) A memorial park of wars, especially world war II. The last names of individuals are on the stones in the area. It is mainly known for the Watervliet arsenal that holds real tanks and machines of World war 2. The Watervliet little league is there, too, where my brother played baseball in 1996-97. It is still around and is a great thing for kids.

Amityville is the all well too known place of the 1974 incident with the DeFeo family. It overall was a surprise because Amityville isn't a place where much crime happened and even the cops were amused. Overall besides 112 Ocean Avenue Amityville is great!! It is actually located past New york city near the Atlantic Ocean.

Glens Falls is a nice place and is known to be near the Great Escape. I've lived there for only 5 months yet i felt right at home. No one should mind this place being their hometown, it is so lovely. The neighborhoods are pretty and kept in good shape. There are no gangs and hardly any crime. Even in school, (i was at the end of eighth grade and went through a lot of freshman year), i felt at home, and that's rare. I recommend, though i'll point out Sanford street elementary (i never went there but my little brother and little sister went there before, he went for the end of fifth grade, my sister almost the entire kindergarten) is already knocked down and no longer a school. Yet, i still do recommend that your kids grow up here considering the nice hospitality of the residents and the parks and nice environment. I have nice memories here of Crandall Park even though it was only 2010 and i was fourteen. My little sister had a nice kindergarten start and i'm proud of that because i did in Watervliet. Hope this place is great for you if you plan living here!!

Troy is okay..... Brunswick is the area in Troy i would recommend you live in. It has a country feel and is unlike bad areas like Lansingburgh which is for crackheads and such.

It is a nice small place and is very memorable.
