About Union
Street
Union Street, located between Downtown Schenectady and Niskayuna, is a residential and commercial Schenectady neighborhood with a historic streetscape and a walkable main-drag feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Union Street and Nott Street intersection, where corner storefronts, cafes, and small services line the corridor. Community pillars include Proctors Theatre, the Schenectady County Public Library (Central Library), and the Schenectady Greenmarket. Side streets feature older wood-frame homes and compact apartment buildings, while Union Street carries steady local foot traffic. Parks and the Mohawk Riverfront sit nearby, adding open-air breaks to the urban grid.
