Moving to Syracuse from FL

[luvmycorgi]

Thank you very much, g-man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much appreciated!!!!!!!My husband wants a townhouse but I am having a hard time finding any that allow pets. I have come across a few that do, but as a rule they are poorly rated on a site called "Apartment Rating"(or something like that). There is a place called Steeplechase in Camillus, I wonder how that is. My husband's office is in DeWitt, however, and he would like to be as close as possible to reduce drive-time.

Check out the Apartment Finder website and look at apartments in the area. Check the mapskrieg website as well. This website has rental homes too: cnyrealtor.com | #1 in Syracuse real estate and homes for sale. Search over 6,000 listings.

I went to cnyrealtor site and cannot find any links to rental homes. It's probably right there before my eyes but for some reason cannot find it. I have looked at Apartment Finder. Thanks again for all the help.

I lived in Steeplechase 4 years ago and would highly recommend it. The only reason I left was for a new career opportunity in another city. Steeplechase is in a stricly residential area set back from Route 5. Adjacent to the complex are condos, townhouses, and single family homes. The topography is hilly which provides a nice backdrop for walking and jogging. The adjacent, Pioneer Farms is very wooded and upscale with some homes as large as 4,000 Sf feet. The commute to downtown is about 15 to 20 minutes.

I thought it was in a nice part of Camillus and even if your husband's office is in DeWitt, it is only a 20-25 minute drive at the most. Just take Route 695 to I-690 East. I wonder about Watertree in East Syracuse or maybe something in Erie Village, which is also in the East Syracuse area and is close to shopping in Fayetteville.

If you rent at Watertree, it will have to be a personal connection. All the condos are *purchases.* They're not supposed to rent out the units but you might get lucky and find someone. lol

Erie Village (townhomes- VERY nice townhomes, setting, although it's most elderly/retirees) is much the same, although the leasing allowances might be looser.

Hello luvmycorgi,

People who are happy with the apartment complex where they live or did live, seldom say how nice it was there; even though I was happy with the places I rented, I never posted a good rating for them. But anyone who got kicked out of an apartment complex or who did not get along with apartment management or who did not like their apartment, you can be sure those individuals WILL POST a bad rating of the complex. So YOU get to read all the bad ratings.

I tried checking Steeplechase but could not find a reference to them having Townhomes. There's probably townhomes around there - Weatheridge - but I just couldn't find the listing.

I found some Townhomes with ads that mention pet friendly. Some say, have pet approved; probably so they don't rent to a 150 pound Great Dane dog.

Below is the list of Townhomes I came up with for you and your husband to consider. I do not have "first-hand" knowledge about these places. I'll leave it up to you to phone, visit, and decide if any of them will meet your needs.

High Acres Townhomes

If you do not find a single-family home to rent, possibly one of the above townhomes would work out for you. Feel free to ask additional questions. I'll be glad to help. Good luck.

Hello luvmycorgi,

I did some more research for you and have some results. It looks like there is no PERFECT solution for your situation. You can review these places and decide for yourself.

The location you wanted but the rent price is above what you stated.

SYRACUSE 13206>>
www.rentalhouses.com/New-York/Syracuse/OODLERENT2422844629/ (broken link)
I consider this to be an okay city location. $800.

CICERO 13039>>
www.rentalhouses.com/New-York/Cicero/OODLERENT2386593723/ (broken link)
Nice home in a nice suburban residential neighborhood but above your price range.

SOLVAY 13209>>
www.rentalhouses.com/New-York/Solvay/OODLERENT2425181031/ (broken link)
Solvay neighborhoods can be from older, more crowded area to newer, more spacious, decent established areas; I do not know about this particular neighborhood--you judge. $700.

SOLVAY 13209>>
http://www.rentingtime.com/NY-Syracu...se-id-1832513/
Looks like a good location to me. Solvay neighborhoods vary; you judge for yourself. $1200.

Good suburban Liverpool area close to shopping. Rent above your price range; check for yourself.

LIVERPOOL 13090>>
www.rentalhouses.com/New-York/Liverpool/rh734697/ (broken link)
This Townhome is owned by a private party (not complex) who wants to rent it out. The location of this place is in an EXCELLENT single-family homes residential neighborhood which I always recommend to people who want to buy a NICE single-family home. One of the best neighborhoods in the Liverpool suburb. You can drive Expressway 481 from near this location all the way to Dewitt in very reasonable drive-time. There is MAJOR shopping with all kinds of stores, restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, clothing stores, etc. etc. at a close-by location. $1050.

If you are serious about any of these places, I would not delay seeing them and making your decision soon. These homes are what I have for you today. I hope I've helped you.

Cannot "rate" your posts until I "earn a rep.", but wanted to thank you for taking all the time and effort. The search begins in person soon.

I agree with gardnrman, your best bet is to contact a real estate agent in the area. They can give you rental information that you may not find online or they can recommend a rental agency for you to use. It is much easier than trying to search yourself. There is no fee to you.
