About Spencer

Road

Spencer Road, located between Cayuga Heights Road and Triphammer Road, is a residential and hillside Ithaca neighborhood with wooded slopes and winding lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Triphammer Road corridor near Community Corners, where a compact cluster of local shops and everyday errands sets a steady, lived-in rhythm. Community Corners anchors the area with Ithaca Bakery, the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, and the historic Community School of Music and Arts. Homes lean toward mid-century and late-20th-century builds, often set back behind mature trees. Side streets feel quiet, while nearby trails and parks shape an outdoors-forward routine. The terrain brings pockets of long views and a tucked-away feel without losing connection to town.
