DOUG & KATE LINS
“We live in the Southwest Historic District of Troy in a house that was built in 1856. We love Troy because everything we want to do is so accessible and close at hand. We also have a very active neighborhood. We have a neighborhood dinner club, we plan social events, and it’s a safe and friendly area. Our neighbors watch out for us and we do the same for them.”
Kate Lins, Troy resident

Troy is seeing robust residential development to accommodate the housing needs of a diverse population drawn to the area by the businesses and institutions that operate here. And while we are proud of our growth and progress, careful planning allows us to maintain a balance of natural green spaces so important to our environment and our residents.

The cost of living in Troy is one to be envied. According to bestplaces.net, Troy ‘s cost of living is a full 10 percent lower than the national average and up to 20 percent lower than cities like Chicago. Housing costs are one of the biggest factors in cost-of-living differences between Troy and other major cities. Shorter commute times, lower utility costs, and a greater diversity of lifestyle options compared to larger metropolitan markets are also a plus. No matter what your housing preferences are, a Troy address offers value and hometown appeal while still being convenient to both work and play including world-class entertainment, college and professional sporting events, dining, and shopping.

WADE WESTFALL
DOWNTOWN LIVING IN STYLE
Wade Westfall, owner of Four Sons Development, has been bringing old buildings back to life in downtown Troy for more than three decades. He’s busier than ever these days with a hot market for downtown residential spaces like the townhomes at 301-305 W. Water Street, one of his recent projects. It’s a market that shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, as an empty nester, he became a downtown resident himself just a few years ago.
