Residents

Dear Neighbors,

Welcome home! If you are considering relocating to Albany, or even if you’ve lived here all of your life, I encourage you to look through our website for information on the city’s neighborhoods and revitalization efforts, local government, and other resources. The City of Albany, as well as many other organizations in the area offer a variety of programs to assist in the home-buying process. These programs can provide support during all phases of homeownership, from the search for the perfect home to maintaining the residence, long after you’ve settled in.

As a resident of the City of Albany, your involvement in our community is important. Our City is home to many dedicated and involved residents. We have a shared passion for making Albany a great place to live. Albany offers all of the benefits of living in New York’s Capital City, as well as providing its residents with a great sense of community.

If you are considering a move, I welcome you to visit Albany to truly experience why it is such a great place to live. I encourage you to explore the City, whether it is by walking tour, the Albany Aqua Duck, or other means. Visit the riverfront, enjoy the many restaurants, see a movie or show at the newly restored Palace Theatre or view the architecture of the historic neighborhoods. Our Capital City has much to offer!

Whether a long-time resident of Albany or a possible new resident, I hope that you will find reason to proudly call Albany home.

Sincerely,

Mayor Gerald D. Jennings
