Troy is a diverse and busy town in upstate New York. It is centrally located between towns and cities with shopping and work opportunities that brings all needs to the residents of Troy within a short drive. The streets are hectic and sometimes dangerous for young children alone. The public schools are laced with immense security measures with more patrol officers than teachers, however, all of the teachers are very devoted to the education and well-being of their students. Downtown Troy has become a beautiful culture hotspot as well as small business home. Although Troy is large and diverse, connections throughout the town are common.
City has high taxes, crumbling infrastructure and crime problem. High School was good for our kids with many course offerings but teachers are over compensated and school board seems to endorse everything the union wants paid for by us. Have had enough and plan to sell.
Troy is a fantastic little city for a night at the bar, a stroll through the city, or a coffee break. Troy is littered with unique bars and restaurants. For such a small town it is surprising how many bars are thriving! You're sure to find one that fits you. It's the same with coffee shops.
