Yes and you have buses that could connect you to other smaller cities. For instance, you can take a bus from the Transportation Center, which is also the train station in Syracuse to Oswego: https://www.centro.org/docs/default-...o.pdf?sfvrsn=2

This is relatively speaking based upon median household income: New York Median Household Income City Rank Based on ACS 2010-2014 data

Maybe Pittsford and Fairport villages

[ckhthankgod]

If we include villages that have their own urban area, Skaneateles and Cazenovia would fit.

Not sure if I'd describe Johnstown as prosperous.

Good catch...While it’s median household income is relatively higher than many other cities, prosperous is the wrong word to use.

In the true sense, select walkable villages or city neighborhoods are likely to be a better fit.
