Planning Board Meeting

Cohoes offers a compact, neighborhood-oriented feel with a strong industrial heritage, where former mill buildings and older streetscapes give downtown blocks a distinctive character. Many residents gravitate to the riverfront viewpoints and the roar of Cohoes Falls, plus easy access to cafés, small businesses, and community gatherings. Cool, clear days and crisp evenings make it especially inviting to explore on foot and enjoy the city’s parks and scenic overlooks.

For commuters, Cohoes sits close to Albany, Troy, and the broader Capital Region, with straightforward routes to major highways and convenient access to services and employment centers. Everyday amenities are nearby, and outdoor options like Peebles Island and the canal and river corridors add room to walk, bike, and unwind. Living options range from apartments and rentals near the core to classic single-family homes and updated spaces in converted buildings, appealing to buyers, sellers, and renters looking for a practical location with local personality.
