I might be moving to take a job assignment in downtown Syracuse. It will be an approximately 18 month assignment.
I'm a single, 40+ professional female and looking for suggestions for neighborhoods to look at for an apartment complex in a safe and upscale neighborhood.
If you don't mind me asking, what is your budget? Answering those questions would help in offering where to look. With that said, Downtown and Franklin Square come to mind within city limits. Outside of the city, villages such as Liverpool, Manlius, Baldwinsville, Fayetteville and perhaps North Syracuse would/could work. There are some rentals, if available and within budget, in Skaneateles that may work as well.
If you don't want something walkable, there are plenty of nice apartments in the Radisson Community in the Baldwinsville area that come to mind, among others.

I would be moving from a dull surburb now, so anything more urban would be a plus, even though I recognize that Syracuse is not a large city.
Downtown and Franklin Square would/could work. There are some apartments on James Street that may work as well. Is it just you? I only ask because you may like some thing like this: Sedgwick Townhouse Apartments in Syracuse
As far as the villages, I'd say that Liverpool may still fit due to its walkability, Onondaga Lake Park and proximity to a range of shopping and Syracuse.
I've been checking out the apartments in Armory Square which seems to be the center of everything I need and I'll need to bump up my rent a bit, but willing to do that to be in a great spot. thanks

What are the rates for available apartments, from what you've seen in Armory Square?
1-2 bedrooms, 1500-2200/month, in Armory Square and surrounding areas, walking distance to the federal office building.
These would be apartments that are considered "upscale" as defined locally - but comparable to regular apartments in other major US cities (except NYC and SF) - the Syracuse market is interesting - if one is willing to live just slightly beyond this downtown radius, it appears that prices drop dramatically.
I am not familiar with the public transit system in Syracuse that would bring commuters downtown....again, I am looking at this from the perspective of someone who has only lived in major US cities for her adult life.

I'm not surprised, as relative to other areas, the housing is more affordable.
It was a former catholic school that has been turned into lofts. Tipp Hill still has a pretty strong Irish character, but isn't exclusively so. It is on the outer West Side and does have some bars/pubs, but the crowd runs a bit more on the younger side. You could take the 36 series line into Downtown: https://www.centro.org/Schedules-Syracuse.aspx

Holy **** i cant believe they charge that much to live with the homeless.
I live here and been here my whole life . Syracuse is a dump and downtown is no better. If you have a car get apartment away from city. Radisson area, Baldwinsville, Cicero. ect. Downtown has 2-4 good blocks but all trash and herion invested people walk through the good areas.
