Situated in the greater Binghamton area, Vestal, NY is in the southwest corner of Broome County. This large community spans more than 52 square miles, but still remains a small town at heart.
This "full-service" town prides itself on having everything a resident may need, like an award-winning school district, volunteer fire department, and public library. Vestal is conveniently located with access to three major highways for residents to travel to several major cities nearby including New York City, Montreal, and Boston. Vestal apartments for rent are near various outdoor recreation options, as well as dining and shopping hubs. According to City-Data, about 27,900 residents lived in Vestal as of 2010.
Vestal was established in January 1823, but was originally a part of the town of Union. Because the town is bound by the Susquehanna River, the area's earliest Native American inhabitants are thought to have traveled along the path and at the mouth of Choconut Creek.
Today, residents are in the perfect locale to go on a weekend ski trip in the winter, or New York's Finger Lakes in the summer. Boasting 20 parks and the Rail Trail, Vestal rentals are perfect for outdoorsy types who also enjoy suburban living. Residents are always found along the Susquehanna River Trail canoeing, fishing, boating, or just basking in the scenery.
Residents of Vestal love to celebrate the diversity of their town. Each year they gather for the Broome County Ethnic Festival, which features traditional dances, food, and entertainment. The county is home to people from an estimated 120 different countries, and the event helps individuals learn about different cultures in a fun environment.
In a similar fashion, each year the Grecian Festival is a huge hit among residents. Loud music and delicious foods attract visitors from all across the county.
