About

Woodlawn

Woodlawn, located between Union Street and State Street, is a residential and institutional Schenectady neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a campus-edge feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Union Street corridor near Ellis Hospital, where corner delis, coffee counters, and everyday services keep the sidewalks active. Early-20th-century houses and small apartment buildings mix with medical offices and pocket greenspaces. Union College’s nearby Nott Memorial and campus quads add a collegiate backdrop to daily routines. Jay Street’s indie storefronts and the Proctors Theatre marquee sit a short ride away for arts and dining.
