Best Towns to live in St Larewnce County NY (Clay: good schools, college)

[FireJackie]

Can anyone share which towns in this county are the best to move to?

Is there any particular area that is considered more wealthier than another? I know it's all very rural.
Good Schools are important!!!!! I have been around the Potsdam and Maseena areas however nowhere else in the county.

Many Thanks in advance.

aren't those the only two cities/towns in that county? Massena seems larger if only because if you cross the bridge (when you can........) you are in Cornwall with its own community and amenities..........there may be someone from the St Lawrence seaway region but the only town I know of is Clayton and it is pretty tiny.............See if the county itself has its own website with info...........??????

Maybe the college towns of Potsdam and Canton. Ogdensburg might not be too bad, as it is across the St. Lawrence River from Canada too. Places like Gouverneur and the Norwood-Norfolk area might be sleepers to consider.

St. Lawrence is a big county, largest in the state. Many towns to consider. The key thing is the size that you are looking for. If you want something of with a Walmart and the like, than you have Ogdensburg, Potsdam-Canton, and Massena. To the south you have small towns in the Adirondacks that are nice, like Cranberry Lake. To the north you have small towns along the St. Lawrence River like Waddington... I really like that area for some reason. Schools are all about the same quality from what I have seen and heard. I student taught in a couple of schools in the county. Most are small schools with graduating classes ranging from 20 to 200. It all depends on what you are looking for.

Canton-Potdam...lots of college stimulation, with good schools. Hammond Central is good too.
