The Community 
Utica, with a population of more than 60,000, sits about 80 miles northwest of Albany and just 45 miles east of Syracuse, New York. Utica is beautifully situated on the Mohawk River at the base of the Adirondack Mountains and just 3.5 hours from Niagara Falls. This unique location offers a great jumping off point to the exploration of the many forests, lakes and rivers of Upstate New York. Located in a family friendly historic community, the city offers excellent education, charming homes, and the opportunity to catch professional sporting events such as the Utica Comets Hockey Team and Utica City FC professional indoor soccer league. Utica has traditionally been a melting pot for various immigrant groups, including Dutch, Italian, German and Irish, and the local cuisine reflects this great diversity. The city features the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, which hosts rotating exhibitions facilitated through the prestigious Pratt Institute, as well as a restored Historic District that was designed by Frederick Olmsted, who also designed New York City’s Central Park.
