Jeannette Evans

What I love about living in the Syracuse area is that I can have the best of both worlds, city and country, all within a short distance from each other. Syracuse City offers restaurants, night life, theater, music, the arts, festivals, and much more! In the suburbs you will find hiking, swimming, a small community feel, and you may even have a deer or two as a neighbor. Skiing and snowboarding are just minutes away. No matter what lifestyle is right for you, you will find a Syracuse community that is just right for you.
