Watertown, NY Apartments for Rent

Nestled along the Black River about 25 miles south of the Thousand Islands, Watertown combines historic architecture with modern convenience. The city's rich industrial heritage dates back to 1800, when the powerful Black River attracted early manufacturers with its abundant water power. As the largest city in New York's North Country region with a population of nearly 25,000, Watertown serves as an important commercial center and sits just 13 miles southwest of Fort Drum.

Watertown apartments offer value-conscious housing options, with average one-bedroom units renting for around $891 per month—significantly lower than the New York state average. The city's neighborhoods radiate from Public Square, a historic district dating back to 1805 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Thompson Park, designed by renowned landscape architect John Charles Olmsted, provides year-round outdoor recreation, while the Black River offers excellent kayaking opportunities. With Lake Ontario, the Adirondacks, and Canada just 30 miles north, Watertown residents enjoy easy access to outdoor adventures while maintaining the conveniences of city living.
