Owego

• Town in New York
• 23 reviews

Current Resident: Owego is a nice small town with beautiful views of the river. There are many great restaurants to choose from such as Las Chicas, The Cellar, and MJ's. The school, Owego Free Academy, offers many great oppurtunities such as athletic internships, participation in clubs and athletics, BOCES, etc. However, I wish there were more job opportunities, it's hard finding work as a teen.

Newark Valley

• Town in New York
• 7 reviews

Current Resident: Newark Valley is a beautiful, peaceful town. The residents have a strong sense of friendship and community. I have many wonderful memories of my childhood in this town. The Trout Ponds Park, the train museum, and the seasonal activities are great perks to this area. It is not too distant from the commodities of larger cities while still maintaining a small-town atmosphere.
