Situated between the Finger Lakes region to the west and the Catskill Mountains to the east, Binghamton is a city in southern New York, close to the Pennsylvania border. An historic city, Binghamton calls itself the “Carousel Capital of the World” for the six wooden carousels in the area, each of which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Binghamton is also a place of natural beauty, located in the area where the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers meet – a site you can view when visiting Confluence Park. With a vibrant downtown area, an acclaimed university, and numerous area attractions, Binghamton is a wonderful place to rent your next apartment.
Major employers in the Binghamton area include Lockheed-Martin, BAE Systems, Endicott Interconnect, IBM, and McIntosh Laboratories.
