This West Hill property offers a unique development opportunity with its two parcels on Trumansburg Road overlooking Cayuga Lake to the East. The first parcel is 1.2 acres and features a 2,536sqft single family home connected to municipal services, selling "as-is". The second parcel is 28.86 acres of prime vacant land ready for development. Identified by the Town of Ithaca's New Neighborhood Code (chapter 272), this site presents an exciting opportunity for a mix of housing and is well suited for development with the support of the Town of Ithaca. Both parcels are zoned as Medium Density Residential, consistent with surrounding properties on the west side of Trumansburg Road. The adjacent lot sold to a local developer in 2016 and two lots across West Hill Drive were approved for Multiple Residence zoning prior to development. Given the property's inclusion in Ithaca's Comprehensive Plan, rezoning these parcels may be possible. With proximity to municipal services, a location on a bus line, and being across from Cayuga Medical Center, this is a prime location for development. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity!

West Hill, located between Cayuga Lake and the Cornell University campus, is a residential and hillside Northwest Ithaca neighborhood with wooded slopes and long west-facing sunsets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Stewart Avenue–West Hill Terrace corridor, where porch-lined streets meet a steady stream of walkers and cyclists. Housing leans toward early-20th-century homes and compact apartment buildings, with mature trees and stone retaining walls shaping the streetscape. Sunset Park functions as the everyday green, with open lawns and lake views. Community pillars nearby include the State Theatre of Ithaca, the Ithaca Farmers Market, and the Kitchen Theatre Company.
