The county seat for Tompkins County is Ithaca, one of the most attractive cities in the United States. A vibrant and lively community that features three spectacular gorges and dozens and dozens of waterfalls within the city limits. Mature trees line the streets of our downtown neighborhoods and our central business district contains unique stores and boutiques, 10 bookstores within a 4 block radius, and a bounty of restaurants that cater to ethnic specialties, world class cuisine, and the best comfort food imaginable.

Once you leave the City of Ithaca you quickly come upon rural landscapes, friendly and quaint villages and hamlets and some magnificent State and Federal forest areas. It’s possible to get up from behind your desk and find your self pedaling a mountain bike down a single track trail, skiing on a backcountry trail, hiking along a cascading waterfall, paddling a kayak downstream or tacking your sailboat upwind in less then 30 minutes.

If you are interested in or are planning to move to our area this website can be a tremendous resource in helping you find information on our community and links to other organizations that could help you.
