Saratoga Springs, New York, Part 2 - Broadway District

Saratoga Springs, New York (Part 2)

Saratoga Springs is divided into several historic districts and neighborhoods which provide tourists options for walking or driving tours. We stopped by the Visitors Center for a map of walking routes through some of the more notable areas. Our first walking tour was through the Broadway District residential neighborhood with many large, gracious, traditional, and Victorian houses built by frequent visitors to the town, its spas, and the racetrack. Sprawling lawns and beautiful facades make these homes not only popular destinations for curious tourists like us, but also for local residents who are lucky enough to have this neighborhood to stroll through, use as a jogging route, or to walk their dogs. You can actually live here, too, but only if you have several pockets full of money, and a lot of patience. There is rarely new construction in this neighborhood, and turnover is slow. Here are a handful of pictures from some of these lovely homes.
