Where we are located

Elmira is a small city in Chemung County, New York, nestled along the Chemung River in the scenic Southern Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. Known for its history, affordability, and welcoming community, Elmira offers a lifestyle that appeals especially to those who value community, culture, nature, and comfort over big-city hustle and bustle.

Residents who love Elmira often point to several key things:

Affordability and slower pace, which allow for a balanced lifestyle.
A tight-knit community vibe — neighbors that know each other, support local businesses, and celebrate together.
Access to culture and creativity through museums, music, theater, and festivals.
Proximity to nature and regional gems of the Finger Lakes.
History and character that give the city a unique sense of identity.

For many, Elmira isn’t just a place to live — it’s a place where everyday life feels grounded, meaningful, and connected to both people and place.
