Question Single Parent relocating to the 12208 area in Albany

Hello. I am a single mother in her early 20's & will be relocating to Albany by the summer of 08' with a pre-school aged child. We currently reside in the Southeast area of Queens, N.Y. which is a middle to low income class suburban/urban area. I will be transfering to enroll in college out in the 12208 zipcode area. I have work experience in the Non-Profit sector & healthcare settings. I am currently exploring employment options & rental apartments. I would like to be in an affordable & commutable area; not having to drive a car to get from point A to B; low-crime & good elementary schools and/or day-care centers; arts & culture & ethnic diversity. If anyone has any suggestions on specific areas, please respond, asap! Thanks & God Bless

Well the 12208 area in Albany is a great place to live...I should know because I call it home! It really is one of the best areas in Albany to live. One of Albany's two biggest hospitals, St. Peter's, is close by. Nice homes and an affordable apartment complex. Its very close to the Albany suburbs and has a suburban feel to it. The public schools in Albany kinda have a bad rap, but there really not as horrible as some people have made them out to be. I went to public school in Albany for elementary and middle school. The high school's not the best, attending a private one would be better, but you don't have to worry about that for a long time. I'm pretty sure the public school for the 12208 area is School 19, which is a pretty good one. I never attended, but I had a lot of past friends who did and they all seemed to love it. There's a couple of Catholic schools around, one right down the street from my house actually! Good schools but if you're looking for diversity, I wouldn't really recommend them. If you have any questions, let me know.
