Rensselaer Apartments for Rent

About Rensselaer

Rensselaer can be found just across the Hudson River from Albany in the New York State Capital District. You will find some public transit bus stops on the main roads here making commuting a convenient option if you are renting Rensselaer apartments. Interstate 90 cuts across the top of the city and the Route 9 bridge will take you across the river into Albany.

While actually in the city of Troy, the Rensselaer Technology Park is located just north of here and is home to dozens of companies and businesses as well as state offices that employ thousands of area residents. Traveling south on Route 9 there is lots of retail shops, a few grocery stores, bowling and a family fun center.

A few of the entertainment options near Rensselaer include The Children’s Museum of Science and Technology which has many interactive exhibits such as an indoor Hudson River. You might enjoy a visit to the Crailo State Historic Site, a museum housed in an 18th century home that tells the story of early Dutch inhabitants of the upper Hudson Valley. Community residents also enjoy Music in the Park during the summer months.
