Oswego, NY Apartments for Rent

Situated where the Oswego River meets Lake Ontario, apartments in Oswego combine waterfront scenery with historic architecture. As "The Port City of Central New York," this community showcases its maritime heritage through preserved 18th-century buildings and Fort Ontario. With average rent for a one-bedroom apartment at $1,041—significantly below the New York state average of $2,659—Oswego presents an affordable housing market in Central New York.

The Lake Ontario shoreline provides year-round outdoor activities, from Wright's Landing Marina to Breitbeck Park's waterfront trails. The city's annual Harborfest celebration brings music, food vendors, and fireworks displays each July. Located 35 miles north of Syracuse via Route 481, Oswego offers convenient regional access. The city experiences significant lake-effect snow, and the SUNY Oswego campus contributes to the area's educational resources and arts programming at venues like Tyler Hall and Waterman Theatre.
