Listing by Laura Sherman• Miranda Real Estate Group Inc
Bellevue, located between Downtown Schenectady and the Mohawk River, is a residential and historic Schenectady neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a compact grid of side streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Union Street corridor near the Stockade, where corner taverns, small eateries, and storefronts set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Brick rowhouses and older single-family homes mix with small apartment buildings, giving the streetscape a classic upstate feel. Jay Street’s pedestrian blocks and the nearby GE Plot add a strong sense of place through architecture and local institutions. Proctors anchors the cultural calendar with touring shows and film. Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady and Mohawk Harbor bring waterfront energy and evening lights.
