This is another listing for a townhome in that general area of Liverpool(actually the town of Clay) and it is a little above price, but may offer a size that you may feel comfortable with: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/New-...tments-ecre8nq
It is close to some shopping on Route 57, including the John Glenn Wegmans and the village is a short drive away with cafes, restaurants, a big county park, a library, another grocery store(with a good meat market), etc. You also wouldn’t be to far from Destiny USA, which has some indoor fun spots for kids(go-karts, bowling/lazer tag, bounce room, etc.). Liverpool Schools are generally solid/good and it is the 3rd biggest SD in the area behind Syracuse City and North Syracuse Central SD’s.
^Just to add some other areas of the city, there is the Sedgwick area just west of Eastwood, which is mostly an old money area with some solid/nice areas around it. This is a listing in that area: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/New-...tments-j4jry67 (I drive by this area on my way to work and have done it at different times and it is nice area). More Sedgwick information: https://www.sedgwickfarm.org/
You could walk or take a short bike ride/drive/bus ride to some of the businesses along James Street or other parts of Eastwood or to Downtown going west on James Street.
There is also Schiller Park nearby, which has a pool, nice view of the city skyline, you'll see Soccer runs due to the very diverse population in other parts of the North Side: https://www.syr.gov/Living/Our-Commu.../Schiller-Park

There are some areas of the city that could work, but it may be a matter of fitting what you are looking for and perhaps flexibility in terms of schooling.
This townhouse listing is in the Kimbrook area of Clay/Baldwinsville Schools and is close to shopping on Route 57 and 31(2 Wegmans between the 2, as well as a range of big box stores, restaurants, etc.), as well as the villages of Baldwinsville and Liverpool, with a reasonable commute to the hospital.
If I get a job at the University Hospital, I will be relocating from Chicago suburbs to Syracuse, NY. I will be bringing a spouse and two school-aged kids with me. We will be looking for a rental apartment/house within 15 min driving time from the hospital in a safe, family-friendly neigbourhood with decent schools. Our budget is $1,500. I might stretched it up for another couple hundreds in exchange for a safer/closer area or more square footage. We enjoy going out to cafes, shops and restaurants, so places with high walkability index are preferred, but not required. If you asked me describe the vibe of desired area, I'd say the one that provides urban-suburban vibe. Not too crowded as a big city, but not too rural either.
My friend lives in the area and he recommended following suburbs: DeWitt, Manlius, Skaneateles, Baldvinsville, Liverpool.
What would be the best pick for us and our kids given the above conditions?
There's also the previously mentioned Tipperary Hill, some spots on North Salina Street(some may still refer to it as Little Italy and while some Italians are still there, it is probably one of the most culturally diverse areas in the state outside of NYC), Eastwood and even Destiny USA(the 8th biggest shopping center in the country) also have some spots/things worth looking at going to within the city.
I'd personally say that in terms of villages outside of the city, Skaneateles is nice, more upscale and would definitely be a place to go to now and then.
Liverpool is kind of underrated, as it has some restaurants, cafes, a nice old school grocery store, a big county park which hosts this winter event: https://www.lightsonthelake.com/ , a nice library, some low key events and is in a good location.
I also like Fayetteville due to having walkability, but it is pretty much self contained to where you don't necessarily have to leave it. Meaning, it has enough range in terms of shopping due to the Towne Center at Fayetteville, a YMCA, some restaurants, a nice newer library, may have events during the summer at a park(live music for an example), it is in one of the "best" school districts in Upstate NY/NY State in general and it has some historical sites.
Baldwinsville is a bigger village of about 6800 or so people with the Seneca river running through the middle of it and you can see people fishing from the bridge. They have live music at Papermill Island, some restaurants, again a nice newer library, good schools, has a newer YMCA just outside of the village, multiple golf courses in the area(Radisson, Firefox, at Timber Lakes) and Beaver Lake Nature center just outside of the village, among other things.
So, there are multiple options in the area that you would have access to.
Radisson, which has outdoor Tennis and Basketball courts with lights, a golf course, an nice rink nearby, a YMCA nearby and other amenities, is a planned community. More information: https://radissoncommunity.nabrnetwork.com/
It isn't too far from the Micron site heading east on Route 31 and there is plenty of shopping on Route 31, as well as quick access to the village of Baldwinsville.
Here is another listing in the Brewerton area, a community in the Central Square SD that straddles Onondaga and Oswego Counties, as well as the Oneida River): https://bayshore.baldwinrealestatecorp.com/
It is on the Onondaga County/town of Cicero side and is close to the shopping on Route 11/Brewerton Road in Cicero, including a Wegmans, Super Walmart, Target, The Burdick family owned Drivers Village, a bunch of restaurants, stores, access to I-481 and I-81 and more.
