Rent to own Homes in Plattsburgh, NY

Plattsburgh is one of few cities in America to have been owned by the French, the British and America at different points in time. For some reason, though, it's the spelling of the city's name that seems to have more historical significance. It seems as if the 'h' was mistakenly accidentally dropped from the name by the post office in 1894, and in the 1950s, the post office started investigating why. It seems as if rapid growth just led to a misunderstanding, and in 1951, the 'h' was added back to the name.

Plattsburgh, NY is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $51,588 and a median rent of $840, the Plattsburgh, NY rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Plattsburgh, NY. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.

Top 4 Reasons to Live in Plattsburgh

Better average prices than New York! Median home cost in Plattsburgh is nearly 50 percent lower than New York's median. The state's median, of course, also factors in New York City, and the price of buying a home near the Saranac River in Plattsburgh is obviously much lower than getting one near Manhattan. When taking into account the fact that Plattsburgh's cost of living index is lower than the national average, though, it becomes obvious why someone would opt to live near I-87 rather than the Brooklyn Bridge.

Like watching the History Channel! The areas around Plattsburgh make living here sort of like watching the History Channel. Only without the Loch Ness Monster and aliens, that is. Head over to the War of 1812 Museum to see what Part II of the American Revolution looked like. If remembering intercontinental conflicts isn't your thing, you could always just head over to the Bluff Point Light to see one of America's historic lighthouses.

Great rental prices! Whether you're just looking to rent a place or you're committed to seeking out rent to own homes, you'll find what you want in a Plattsburgh neighborhood. This is because rental prices are fairly low in the area. In fact, the average price for a one-bedroom rental apartment in Plattsburgh is about 16 percent less than the national average. This leaves plenty of money for visiting places like Crab Island or the Kent-Delord House.

Maintain a little culture! Heaven knows that we all need a little more culture in our lives, and living in Plattsburgh will provide more than enough opportunities. You could check out one of the numerous theatrical performances over at the SUNY Plattsburgh, or if you're more into a different medium of art, you could always visit The Strand Center for the Arts.
