About the Community:

The city of Schenectady, New York, located on the banks of the Mohawk River, is a small-but-modern city (population 65,000) that is part of the broader Capital Region (population 1.1 million)—which is known as the seat of New York State government, and also as a growing tech/innovation hub. Schenectady is approximately 15 miles from Albany and 150 miles from New York City.

Now entering its third decade of a major revitalization, the City of Schenectady retains and respects its heritage, which is seen in the preserved historic Stockade District bordering the Mohawk River, and throughout the city. Schenectady’s history has been synonymous with innovation: Thomas Edison, for instance, established his Edison Machine Works, later to become the General Electric Co., here in 1886. Still home of GE’s global research headquarters and other operations, the Schenectady area remains a hub for GE, although the local economy has become increasingly diversified over the past two decades.

The city boasts abundant recreational and cultural venues—among them, beautiful Central Park, and its nationally recognized Rose Garden; the Mohawk Hudson Hike-Bike Trail; nearby nature preserves; Proctors, a restored vaudevillian theater that hosts Broadway’s biggest touring shows and has undergone a $40 million expansion. Most recently, the 60-acre, master-planned Mohawk Harbor community opened—integrating luxury living, retail, restaurants, an Ellis Medicine urgent and primary care location, and other offices along one mile of waterfront (the project also eased access to the Mohawk River with a new harbor).

The broader Capital Region, meanwhile, is the fourth largest metro area in New York State, behind New York City, Buffalo and Rochester. Comprised of the cities of Schenectady, Albany, Troy and Saratoga Springs, the Capital Region enjoy a stable economic setting, and is recognized as a dynamic region for economic growth.
