About the Neighborhood
Pine Hills stretches west from Center Square toward the UAlbany campus. One of the largest and most diverse neighborhoods.
What It's Like to Live Here
Popular with students but far from exclusively so. Families, young professionals, and long-time residents create a mixed community.
Average Rent
One of Albany's most affordable neighborhoods. 1-bedrooms: $850-$1,300. Studios from $700. 2-bedrooms: $1,000-$1,600.
Transit
CDTA buses routes 12 and 10 on Madison and Western Ave. Bike-friendly. Easier parking than Center Square.
Things to Consider
Some blocks near the university are noisy on weekends. Building quality varies greatly — inspect carefully.
