Anyone from Steuben County, New York?

Question

I'm thinking of moving there next year, and I was wondering about jobs, housing, weather, etc. I've been there once on vacation and am going to some places in the area for my honeymoon next year.

P.S. No whiney teenagers telling me how much it sucks, please.

Answer 1

I used to live in the next county over, and have been over to that region many times over the years.

It's a pretty typical Upstate New York county -- quite rural. I suppose the biggest city is Corning, and Hornell is about the only other city in the county. I think you'd have to go to Horseheads to see a mall; Hornell may have a Wal-Mart.

There is some wine country there (Hammondsport), and the edge of the Finger Lakes offers some recreation options. I wouldn't go there in search of a fast pace, that's for sure, but people who like things a little on the quiet side might like it.
