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.
