Colonie NY - Low Taxes, Central to all parts of the Capital Region & great school systems!....

By
Real Estate Agent with Field Realty - Broker/Owner

The Town of Colonie is an extremely popular, desired place to settle for many reasons. Being raised in the town and living here for all of my 27 years, I have a lot of good to say about it. A few of the most common reasons home buyers are attracted to this area are for the following:

  1. Great school systems- The town is divided into the North & South Colonie School System. North Colonie has 6 elementary schools within the district & one middle school. It has always been thought of as a well respected school system. The South Colonie School system has five elementary schools, 2 middle schools and the high school.
  2. Low taxes- The support of the major commercial roads (Wolf Rd., Central Ave., Rt 9) have attributed to a tax base that most other municipalities are without. Because of this large commercial tax base, this offsets the residents property taxes.
  3. Location- The Town of Colonie is smack dab in the middle of the Capital Region. The three main highways either border or run through different parts of the Townmaking it accessible from all angles...Literally. With that, residents have the convenience of being able to travel only minutes to destinations that would otherwise take 2-3 times longer...

Mike,

Where would you say the best Tax to School District Quality location is in the greater Tech Valley?

Thanks,

Hey man,

How's things?....I would say all day Colonie...You def pay for the quality of schools in Nisky- I got a buddy whose taxes just went up 250/month for a grand total of 6,700 on the year for a 3 bedroom cape assessed at $240K. In N/S Colonie these would have been 3,600...That's an extra 3,100 in the pocket each year....Thats some scratch...When are we gonna get together to try and drum some business up? I told Steve - you he & I should get together to get you involved in our closings (homeowners, whatever else) and we can get involved with people you know...Let me know...
