Opinions on these locations (dangerous, stores, housing)

OrangeHousing.com tends to be a decent resource in the Westcott area as well.

thats kinda what I was thinking. That website is great. Thank you so much for that

And you'd also be able to get a better feel for where you want to be, in this area, before committing to a full lease.

I didn't even think that was possible but I am def going to give that a try so thank you very much. I think that would be perfect for what I am looking for. When you say properties though, I assume you mean full houses and not just private sublets right? If they are full houses I wonder if the prices for utilities would offset the deal I might get on rent.

Also, looks like Nob Hill does month-to-month leases. It's listed under their "furnished" section, but I'm willing to bet they may do it for unfurnished as well if you ask - [url=http://www.nobhillsyracuse.com/furnished.htm]Nob Hill Apartments - Furnished Apartments[/url]

thanks again Becca. I have been checking out the sublet section and thats where I got those address from to begin with. I continue to check everyday and just bookmark ones I think might work out. I did not notice that on the nob hill site so thank you for pointing that out. I think I just need to figure out if I would prefer a complex or flat. Decisions, decisions

It's somewhat of a busy student area but it's in a good part. Two blocks from the heart of the business district over there and right on a bus line to boot.

If it's a small house, you're not going to be paying much, especially during non-winter seasons. Well, unless you're like my children and turn on lights and electronics by simply passing through a room. :P

I don't know who sells the most foreclosures but some companies I can think of, off the top of my head, are-

Prudential
Keller Williams
CNY Realtor

A google search would get you more... and numbers. They might at least be able to direct toward the people who tend to deal with foreclosures.
