Beyond housing, Syracuse boasts a rich cultural scene, from the Syracuse Stage and the Landmark Theatre to the annual Destiny USA events that draw visitors regionally. Residents benefit from strong public transportation, quality schools, and a growing job market in health care, education, and technology.
