Apartments for Rent in Elmira, NY

Located in the southern central section of New York near the Pennsylvania border, Elmira is a charming city with a long history. First settled in the late 1700s, Elmira features a beautiful, historic downtown.

The city has long been industrial-based, and to some extent that is still true today. It is home to Anchor Glass Container Corporation and Caf USA Inc. Elmira College also plays an important role in the city’s economy.

Harris Hill has seen the sport of gliding “take off” from its summit, and the hill is now the location of the National Soaring Museum, a museum dedicated to motorless flight. Elmira held the first National Soaring Contests between 1930 and 1946.

Another great Elmira attraction is the Mark Twain Golf Course. This 18-hole public course is the location of several golfing championships and includes a pro shop and a snack bar.

The Chemung River Valley is the gateway to the Finger Lakes wine region, home to some spectacular vineyards. Visitors to the area can tour the wineries and enjoy wine tasting. Choose an Elmira apartment and enjoy the wineries, art festivals, museums, and more.
