Suburb in New York
Current Resident: It is your typical suburban neighborhood. It is very safe with crime being few and far between, the local system is one of the best in the state, and shopping is only a couple minutes away. If you don't have a car you will find it impossible to move around as public transit is nonexistent.... Read 6 reviews

Current Resident: Saratoga Springs is an amazing place to live. The downtown is beautiful and is full of small business ranging from restaurants, coffee shops, to jewelry stores! It has several parks, tons of walking trails, a lake and is very close to the Adirondacks. I am an active person and love to spend time outside and have a ton of options in Saratoga. Saratoga is full of history and has many stories to tell. A downside of Saratoga that it is a very rich and very white community. There is not a lot of diversity in Saratoga. The town could also do better in regards to the homeless community. There should be more resources available for them, more homeless shelters and more places where they can go to have meals every day. I would recommend Saratoga to everyone. I grew up here, and after spending several years away from it, I moved back. I have not found a place that compares to it in beauty, activity, fun and history.... Read 96 reviews

Parent: We have a rising Kindergartener, who finished his first year at Friends in Pre-K. As a parent, and an educational professional, I personally could not have designed a better experience for my son, especially during the COVID-related shut down. We initially chose Friends for our son because we wanted more for him; we wanted him to learn through experience, to develop thoughts of his own and more importantly to be part of a community that subscribed to similar values as ours. Our son’s first year was FANTASTIC! Notably, while everyone was scrambling to figure things out when the State shut down, our son was being educated and supported in a way that was developmentally appropriate, fun and responsive. The transition to virtual school was so seamless, that it seemed like it was planned for (it might have been). More importantly, the teachers were open and responsive to feedback, and continued to tweak the new modality regularly. We are looking forward to many more years at Friends!... Read 91 reviews

Current Resident: I am 18 years old, born locally, and lived in Clifton Park all my life. This is a good place to live because crime is low and the residents are pretty friendly. I went to elementary, middle and high school in this community and had a good experience with each one. There are a lot of starter jobs for high school and college students, and career-oriented positions are only 30 minutes away. There are also several colleges within a 30 minute drive.

Nearby Resident: Saratoga is mostly known for the historic Saratoga Racetrack, which is the hot spot for locals and tourists during the summer months. However, downtown Saratoga is home to a slew of stores, ranging from clothing stores to olive oil. Kiddy corner to downtown Saratoga is the bowling alley, as well as the movie theater. Both are full of fun attractions. Saratoga is also home to old victorian houses, which have been modernized into breakfast-in-bed hotels or left mostly untouched and transformed into a museum. Whether you are someone who likes to explore history, shop, or have a nice stroll, Saratoga can please everyone.... Read 1 review

We are also in close proximity to cities and oceans for a quick getaway. There is access to arts and culture creating diversity that sometimes you would only see in a major city. This area is definitely in the top 5% when compared to everywhere else in the country.

Parent: Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. We needed to find a small, specialized school so that our daughter could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such an inclusive atmosphere filled with dedicated administrators and teachers. My daughter has an anxiety disorder and OCD. Every single teacher CARES. The combination of education, creativity and fun that they have created is unmatched. The classrooms are small and kids with every learning difference are treated with respect and patience. Without the chaos and fear of a big school, our daughter got past the nerves that held her back and learned to speak to adults and advocate for herself. She had warm and nurturing advisors who saw her potential and appreciated her strengths - they gave her CONFIDENCE. The education and unparalleled college prep she received from C/A is why she's thriving in college today, and why our younger daughter is now a C/A student.... Read 11 reviews
