Are You an Alumnus?
Welcome back to Oneonta, the "City of the Hills"!

Play, Relax, Celebrate & Explore
Remember those great trails? We have even more now!
For those alumni reading this… Do you remember all the great hiking and biking trails we had in Oneonta? Well, we have even more now!
New Trail Highlights
Be sure to check out New Island's challenging bike trails, and a newly paved trail that embraces the wonderfully wild banks of the millrace in Neahwa Park.
Enjoy a Historic Vibrant Downtown
The heart of any city is its downtown. That's especially true of Oneonta.
Unlike many upstate communities that were irreparably harmed by urban renewal, our quaint little city was able to preserve the majority of its main street architecture.
Our downtown has retained its charm, and it's embraced its storied history as a destination for thousands of shoppers, diners, and entertainment seekers.
Downtown Enhancements
We are enhancing the experience with free Wi-Fi on Main Street, a downtown speaker system, and round-the-clock entertainment on Muller Plaza.
Find a Home That's Just Right For You
Oneonta is the most charming ideal of a city you'll find. We're beginning a transition from a student-rental economy into another model that promises a rapid expansion of home rental and purchasing opportunities.
And there's a home for you here!
Join a Sustainably-Focused Community
Building a connected, safe, healthy, and smart city
The expectations of a modern municipality include its provisions of convenient and reliable access to power and connectivity.
Oneonta is building a connected community, and a safe, healthy, and smart city through green technologies. Our tools are keyboards and shovels.
Green Initiatives
We are a "Tree City" and we are a model of the "Complete Streets" strategies that enable safe use and support mobility for all people of all ages.
EV charging stations, a model transit system, increasing numbers of bike lanes, and pedestrian-friendly streets are at the heart of our plans for an ever greener future.
Experience a Re-energized Economy
Healthcare and education have been the main drivers of our economy for a while, but we are becoming a tech center, a target for green manufacturing, and our hospitality sector is having a seismic moment.
Make an Impact!
In Oneonta we have the aspirations of a large city. But at just over thirteen thousand, ours is the population of a small town.
So, we need and welcome the big ideas and involvement of EVERYONE in the community.
You can have an impact. Be and do whatever you aspire to, and you'll help shape a future that we can all celebrate.
We'd love to have you.
And we'd be happy to share this good life with you and your family.
