Northwest Ithaca — 7.3/10 Rating (based on 4 neighborhood reviews)

It is a quiet area, with views of the Lake. You do have to drive or Uber to the commons or the Cornell Campus, which can be annoying. Definitely not the area for someone who wants to walk to the bars.

However, it is very quiet and peaceful, and the rent is less than it would be downtown.

It is right on the bus route, that goes right to Sage Hall, so great for students. it is about a 12-15 minute drive to campus or a 20-25 minute bus ride.

Candlewyck Park Apartments

It's a little bit outside of downtown, but is just 10 minutes away from everything. About 10-15 minute drive to Sage Hall, and there is also a bus you can take that picks you up outside of the complex, right to Sage Hall. You can't walk to anything, however, and would need a car to get around.
