ALBANY
Located in the heart of New York - Albany offers an incredible amount of opportunity, history, culture, art, food and fun! There are many exhibits year round and plenty of museums to visit. Albany hosts all sorts of festivals and parades. Whether you're looking to enjoy a show, concert or sports event, you won't have to travel far. Some of Hollywood's greatest films were shot right here in Albany, and they loved it so much, they keep coming back to our beautifully unique residence. This is great inspiration for film makers of the capital region! Also, just a few short hours to some of the Northeast's largest cities: Boston, Montreal and NYC.
