There are some wonderful family neighborhoods in the University area and this is a great video detailing some of what many of us love about our life here UNPA’s new video!

Great video!
Yes, the University neighborhood area did look nice when I was there last month--I like the Westcott St. neighborhood most!
I'm glad to see a Syracuse neighborhood finally market itself in a way that wouldn't be done otherwise and there are some others I think that could do the same thing.
Also, what some people may not realize is that the neighborhoods in this area, from around Westcott east to the city line and south of East Genesee rival solidly to even upper middle suburban neighborhoods in terms of median household income, while maintaining a visible level of cultural diversity.
If you include Le Moyne College on the eastern edge of the city/the DeWitt town line, besides the northernmost census block group in the census tract above, you have this census block group near that campus: Census Block Group 003602-2 in Onondaga County, New York

Something I just realized about the census block groups listed and those in the census tract is that most have a median household income above the county, metro and national median income figures. A couple are just below and a couple are skewed by student rentals.
I'm not sure if area kids may go to other schools, but it appears that these are the private/charter/magnet school options that people tend to go with.

Here is another video of a neighborhood just east of Syracuse University's South Campus not too far from the area in the original post: OCNA - About | Outer Comstock Neighborhood Association (OCNA) - Syracuse, New York (I'd say that the area of the neighborhood around and east of Jamesville Avenue/south of East Colvin would be the best bet)
For those that don't know, this newer development is in that neighborhood and has seen a little bit more development pick up: Xavier Woods Homes
The neighborhood is covered under the program: http://realestate.syr.edu/wp-content...ProgramMap.jpg (the orange area around the previously suggested area) It also covers the area in the original post, as well as Downtown and areas of the Near West Side that the University was involved in trying to revitalize.

Le Moyne's program likely covers portions of the Salt Springs and Meadowbrook neighborhoods also on the city's East Side. A couple of examples of homes in that general area:
Also, another thing to consider is that while there would be some reservations in regards to schools, besides the SCSD Say Yes to Education program as an option, there is also the Remitted Tuition Benefit that an employee of either institution could use in order to send children to college at a reduced cost. You could also use the education benefit available to you as an employee as well.
