The loss of a major industry left a ghost town of many previously thriving communities. Through a mix of luck, location and internal fortitude, the city got past the devastating departure of glove-making. Located in Fulton County in Upstate New York's Mohawk Valley, Gloversville is about a 30-minute drive from Albany. Being close to the Adirondack Mountains has helped re-define the town as a tourist base camp of sorts for people exploring the beautiful mountain country just to the north. It's within a four-hour drive to all the major metro areas in the entire Northeastern U.S. and is convenient to Canada, as well.
If deciding to call this charming little city home means you are going to be looking for places to rent, there are a few things to keep in mind. While the mean temperature in July is 70, in January it's only 19 degrees. Needless to say, most moves take place in the better weather. Of course, if you are willing to brave the elements, deals can be had when the snow falls. Over recent years, the number of available units in relation to people looking has been about average. Taking a proactive approach with an apartment locator can yield results for you. A good credit report and funds for first and last months' rent and deposit will be necessary.
Gloversville may only have a little less than 16,000 residents, but that doesn't mean the entire town is exactly the same. Explore different sections and see where you want to land.

A strong agricultural heritage is changing with the times, with organic food and great wines produced on the surrounding farms and vineyards like Altamont Vineyard Winery.
