Located in the heart of New York's new Tech Valley, a region JP Morgan cites as one of the fastest-growing metros in the state, Rensselaer County is energized by dynamics. Entrepreneurs and corporate executives. High-tech start-ups and global companies. World-class educational institutions and brimming apple orchards. Architectural skylines and wide-open spaces. Connected to everywhere, and still close-knit. It's all right for relocation.
Hollywood loves coming to Rensselaer, and with good reason. Downtown Troy -
the setting for The Age of Innocence, The Bostonians, and Ironweed - blends
Victorian era architecture with classy restaurants and eclectic entertainment
in venues ranging from coffee houses to a world renowned music hall.
Situated on the Hudson River, the downtown area offers a diversity of attractions,
historical sites, shopping, and an expanse of greenery along the river, known
as Riverfront Park, where you'll find numerous art, music and ethnic festivals
in the warm summer months. Explore the shores of the Hudson River to the border
of New England.
