About General Electric Realty

Plot

General Electric Realty Plot, located between Union Street and Nott Street, is a historic and residential Schenectady neighborhood with tree-lined boulevards and early-20th-century architecture. The character concentrates around the Union Street corridor near the Nott Terrace intersection, where corner storefronts and campus-edge foot traffic set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Stately Colonials, Tudors, and Craftsman homes sit behind deep lawns and mature maples, giving the streets a curated, park-like feel. Union College’s nearby greens and stone buildings lend an academic backdrop to daily routines. The neighborhood’s identity ties closely to Union College’s Jackson Garden and the GE Plot’s signature street plan of broad avenues and small pocket parks.
