The Near Westside Neighborhood, a nationally registered historic district, is one of the larger of her kind. Boosting the largest concentration of Victorian homes and architecture. The architecture of the Near Westside is truly remarkable.Also the City of Elmira's architecture. (What remains)

The Near Westside Neighborhood has many long term wonderful residents. This can quickly be spotted by their well kept homes.

On the other hand it is and has been very apparent on properties that are owned by out of and in town landlords and very poor managers.

Not ALL out of townees are bad such as the recent group headed by Bill Newjent and his team. They have done some real property improvements to the middle class apartment buildings in the district.Thank you Mr. Newjent.

In up and coming blogs we will show many before and afters of his apartment bldgs which are manly in the Near Westside Neighborhood's national historic district.

The Near Westside Neighborhood is in the Western portion of the City of Elmira, NY.

Bordered by historic Hoffman Street on the West.

The city proper on the East side.

Near Elmira College on the North side, and the Chemung River on the South Side.

You can see the neighborhood sites in the center of Elmira, NY's rich historical heritage center. This neighborhood should have more of a high priority than it currently has by the city and others.

YES the Near Westside Neighborhood does have her share of crime activities. This is a highly densely populated area of apartments in these once grand ol mansions. Because the Near Westside Neighborhood has an identity it is easily marked in the LOCALE public eye. BUT the neighborhood is slowly changing course to sail to smoother, quitter, clear blue waters.
