A lot more rednecks up here than in Long Island, that's for sure. Also much more conservative politically than Long Island (oh and people here love their guns, just see all of the "Repeal the Safe Act" signs in people's yards). Slower pace of life as well, though village of Liverpool is busy and vibrant. You'll manage, though. We moved from Brooklyn and have adjusted just fine (though I was from the midwest, so used to most of the differences already).
Good points.....OP, you'll see these things in more exurb/rural areas versus the Liverpool or North Syracuse areas, which are generally pretty built out. Baldwinsville will have a mix, as it has experienced a housing/population boom of sorts and still has parts that are more rural.
Also, the Liverpool and North Syracuse areas will have pockets of relatively notable cultural/racial diversity than Baldwinsville, with the Liverpool area a little more so than the North Syracuse area. I guess a school district from Long Island that may be similar to those two in that regards is Harborfields or maybe Elwood.

South Otselic is very rural and quite a drive from Syracuse. Fayetteville and Norwich would be the closest places with big box shopping.

Yeah it did seem a bit rural. As long as it's safe and not a ghetto neighborhood I'm good with that. Thank you for all the insight and helpful information! I will post about the transition in a couple of weeks

So, are you moving to South Otselic or to Liverpool? Are you just looking at your options? Keep in mind that South Otselic is going to be more in line with jonthedream's post and it is in Chenango County, which is outside of the Syracuse metro area. It is about 30-35 minutes from the village of Manlius.

I know I was a bit confusing. At first it was Liverpool. South otselic looks like it will be the one. Applied to two different jobs. Got an interview Monday in Norwich which is why I switched from Liverpool to south otselic.

Got it. Norwich itself may be the way to go for more amenities. Within the Syracuse metro area, Hamilton is a nice small community that is home to Colgate University. So, it will have more than other small towns in the area.
There's also the Sherburne-Earlville area in between Hamilton and Norwich and could be another area to look into.
OP, what are some amenities that you look for in a community?
Also, another thing I forgot to mention is that the village of Hamilton has its own electric company by way of NYPA and such places tend to have lower utility costs because of this. Municipal Electric Department | Village Of Hamilton, NY
