      I have lived in Ballston for the past 13 years. It is a very boring area with a school district being its only calm to fame, the school district is wonderful but there is nothing to do in this town! It is a very safe area but There are almost no side walks because there are no people walking because there is no where to walk to. We have a few gas stations and car dealerships and restaurants but no place for kids to hang out after school and no local entertainment for the weekends. We used to have a bowling alley but that burnt down.

      Ballston is a rural/suburban area that is family friendly with excellent schools. Its a great place to live, work and play!
      Upstate NY is one of the most beautiful areas I've lived in. This particular area in Saratoga County is so friendly and welcoming. The town we live in has signs as you enter town claiming to be "Ballston Spa...a village of friends" and it is! We live in a country atmosphere but with grocery, retail and restaurants within a reasonable distance.

      Saratoga Springs is 15 minutes away and features the Saratoga Racetrack, SPAC, amazing restaurants and numerous lakes and historic sites to visit...I love it here!!

      Would I do it all over? Move here again? Absolutely, but I can't imagine leaving to begin with!
