Given the long commute, I would stay east/NE in terms of a search. While directly north of Syracuse, it is close to the Thruway and you can get to the Griffiss Business Park in about 45 minutes: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/New-...nor-Apartments

These listings are in a condo community in East Syracuse not too far from the Thruway or I-481: Classified Ads - Watertree of Dewitt
It is close enough to Syracuse while making the commute a little bit more reasonable.

As for Utica, which is another option, there have been some newer Downtown apartments built in refurbished buildings. So, that is something to consider as well.

If you want something within city limits and can jump on it, it would work: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/New-...ons-Apartments

Same here down the street in the Franklin Square area: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/New-...ace-Apartments

This is in the Armory Square district in Downtown: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/New-...tments-s914d55

If you don't mind being near the Transportation Center/CNY Regional Market/the baseball stadium and DestinyUSA: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/New-...hts-Apartments

Also Downtown in the Clinton Square area: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/New-...tes-Apartments

Another one just outside of Downtown: https://www.apartmentfinder.com/New-...ons-Apartments

All are newer places that are just in refurbished buildings...This is if you want to make that commute.

To be fair, some similar types of apartments in Utica, which is a much more reasonable commute to Rome: https://www.thewestwoodutica.com/

Also, posted information for the Doyle Apartments in another thread.

Rome is working on the housing aspect in terms of attracting professionals by using state funding to help revitalize its Downtown.
