Troy

 

Beautiful homes, in many price ranges, provide a distinctive landscape for the City of Troy. They form wonderful neighborhoods that are picture-perfect for raising a family. In addition to single-family residences, you’ll find an excellent mix of condominiums, apartments and multi-family complexes. This range of housing forms the backbone of this great City.

 

First-class schools are one of the hallmarks of Troy. The Troy Public School District has six national blue ribbons and features 13 State Exemplary Schools. The high schools, Troy High School and Troy Athens High School, were both recently featured on the list of “The 1000 Most Outstanding High Schools in the United States” by Newsweek magazine.

 

Troy also offers world-class shopping, dining and entertainment options. Visitors come from miles around to take advantage of Troy’s premier shopping and dining. Somerset Collection, located in the heart of the City, is an upscale mall with over 180 stores, boutiques and restaurants. The travel magazine, Fodor’s, describes Somerset as “one of the top shopping malls in the United States.”
