Housing and the cost of living index in the Plattsburgh
region fare well in comparison with most communities in
the northeastern U.S., particularly metropolitan areas.
This was the conclusion reported in a National Cost of
Living Survey undertaken in 2000 by Plattsburgh State
University in collaboration with the American Chamber of
Commerce Researchers Association. Besides housing,
which cost slightly less in greater Plattsburgh than in
other participating cities across the country, the survey
measured costs in five additional categories: groceries,
utilities, transportation, health care and miscellaneous
goods and services.

A wide range of housing options is available in and
around Plattsburgh -- from luxurious lakeside estates
and modest single-family homes on uncrowded lots in to deluxe
townhouse apartments. A sizeable portion of the latest
growth in the housing market in the greater Plattsburgh
region has taken place at PARC.
