Saratoga Springs may be more widely known for thoroughbred horse racing but it also has an historic downtown area, many golf courses, and natural mineral springs. It’s also a great place to buy a house if you’re looking to leave the city.

You can get a lot for your money compared to New York City: The median sales price here is $364,943, according to Zillow. On the market right now are a mix of renovated traditional homes and new construction. Many are located in suburban, tree-lined neighborhoods that are only a few minutes away from downtown Saratoga Springs.    

There’s a lot of things to do in Saratoga Springs. Saratoga Racetrack, the fourth-oldest racetrack in the U.S., hosts races every summer (this year will be a little different). Other outdoor attractions include Saratoga Spa State Park, Congress Park, the Saratoga Lake Golf Club, plus Roosevelt Baths & Spa and Big Red Spring. Museums include the National Museum of Dance and the Saratoga Automobile Museum. For culture fans, there’s Opera Saratoga and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
