Lansingburgh—often called “the Burgh”—is a historic, residential part of north Troy. It can be a good fit if you value older homes, a neighborhood feel, and access to outdoor spaces, but it’s quite block-by-block.
Pros
- Historic character: Many homes and buildings have distinctive older architecture; the Central Lansingburgh Historic District has been recognized for its historic significance.
- Parks and outdoor access: Peebles Island State Park is nearby across the river, with walking trails, river views, fishing, and winter activities.
- Community anchors: There’s a Lansingburgh library branch, local history organizations, and neighborhood events.
- Investment potential: Troy has identified Lansingburgh’s Main Street/2nd Avenue corridor for revitalization funding. That’s a sign of public investment, though it doesn’t mean every property or block is improving at the same pace.
Cons
- Uneven conditions: Housing upkeep, vacant properties, and nearby services can vary noticeably by block. Some parts feel cared-for and residential; others show more (trulia.com)
- Older-home upkeep: Historic houses can be appealing, but may need substantial maintenance. Get a thorough inspection and check heating, wiring, roof, plumbing, and basement conditions.
- Safety is not uniform: Online accounts and broad neighborhood labels can be misleading. Visit the specific street during the day and after dark, and look at recent local information rather than relying on a single reputation or crime-rating site.
- Schools need a closer look: Lansingburgh has its own school district, separate from Troy’s. If schools matter to you, check the current NYSED report card and visit the specific schools your address would feed into.
Family History
This was the home of John Joseph Connally (1877-1943), a meat market owner, for more than 50 years. He lived in the home with his wife Quida, and children Eugene, John, Leo, Thomas, Agnes and Biyd.
