Moving to Albany

Albany has made great strides in high-tech industries, particularly with the nanotechnology sector. Aside from technology, the city's economy is largely dependent on healthcare, education, and government, which makes it an attractive destination for career-minded individuals looking for a change of scenery.

Albany's neighborhoods are quite varied historically, geographically, architecturally, and demographically, giving you plenty of options for finding your new home. Arbor Hill is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, which is evident in its historic structures like Saint Joseph's Church. Center Square offers a central location adjacent to downtown, attracting a diverse mix of residents. If you're looking for a close-knit suburban neighborhood but the amenities and conveniences of city living, consider moving to Eagle Hill. With easily accessible public transportation, great public schools, and quiet streets filled with shops and restaurants, it’s no surprise many of the residents in this area have lived here for generations.

Prefer a quick walk to downtown? You might like living in Mansion, a historic district featuring Victorian row houses and distinctive restaurants. New Scotland/Woodlawn offers tree-lined streets and sidewalks, not to mention a tight-knit community feel. Other great options include Pastures, Pine Hills, North Albany, and South End.

No matter which Albany neighborhood you choose, PODS offers the moving solutions you need to make the transition as easy as possible. With PODS, you have all the time and space you need and all the control you want.
