Center Square, located in downtown Albany, New York, is an eclectic neighborhood where lively youth culture meets quiet old elegance.

Center Square contains some of the most significant and beautiful architecture in the city. Our homes were mainly built between 1850 and 1900, ranging from charming wood frame cottages to huge brownstone mansions.

Today, as in the past, Center Square is home to a diverse group of residents and business owners who make up a vibrant and welcoming community.

Center Square includes the area bounded by Lark Street on the west, Spring Street on the north, South Swan Street on the east and Jay Street on the south, plus the upper portion of Lancaster Street between Lark and Willett Street.
