I have lived in the Capital Region all my life. Born in raised. My mother moved us out of Albany to Colonie before I started grade school. Colonie is only about 20 minutes from downtown Albany on a good day.

Great schools, parks, and nice neighborhoods to raise a family in. I know I might seem a little biased but, in my personal opinion, Colonie is one of the best places to live in the capital region.

Colonie does not seem to make that cut, however, Schenectady and Troy have found a way on to that chart. Check it out to see if your town has made the cut.
