Many Central New Yorkers will live here their entire life. There is nothing wrong with that choice. Maybe they get away for a few years, but a common theme we constantly hear is how people want to come back. Why? This region of New York is home. We have some of the best food on the planet, along with the best views around.

Let's be real for a moment though. It's totally understandable that some people are in need of a change of scenery or found better job opportunities elsewhere.
