Stone Fence, Ogdensburg NY Market Data

Ogdensburg, affectionately known throughout the region as "the Burg", is located where the gentle Oswegatchie River flows into the majestic St. Lawrence River approximately midway along the St. Lawrence Seaway between the Canadian Cities of Kingston and Montreal, at the eastern end of the 1000 Islands Region. The 1000 Islands Region is an international tourism destination, encompassing communities on both sides of the US and Canada border along the St. Lawrence River and the eastern shores of Lake Ontario. The region takes its name from the more than 1000 islands that dot the lake and river along this international waterway. The region extends from Kingson to Cornwall on the Canadian side, and from Oswego to Massena on the US side, reaching inland to the foothills of the Adirondack mountains to embrace the communities that are west and north of the Adirondack Park, and the four NY Counties of Oswego, Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence.

A Catholic Seminary College and a small two year college located in Ogdensburg, and within a 30 minute drive two state colleges and two private universities, Clarkson University and St. Lawrence University make St. Lawrence County the education mecca of the New York State.

Ogdensburg residents and visitors enjoy breathtaking scenery and natural beauty, a rich cultural history, and abundant recreational opportunities throughout the year. Resort community excitement is just 30 minutes west at Alexandria Bay, while international metropolitan culture can be found in Canada's capital city of Ottawa one hour to the north.

In summer, the St. Lawrence River offers almost everything a boater, fisherman, or water sports lover could possibly pray for. The spectacular sunsets across the river are so commonplace that local residents hardly notice - but visitors are astounded by the vibrant colors that splash across our evening skies. The summer resort communities of the Thousand Islands, just west of Ogdensburg, have been the destination of choice for those in the know for over a hundred years.

Winter sports enthusiasts should note that Ogdensburg is only two hours away from Lake Placid, twice the host of the Winter Olympics. White Face Mountain features one of the world's most popular and challenging alpine skiing resorts, and the Adirondack Mountains south of Ogdensburg provide some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet in all seasons.
