Camillus
This historic village is west of Onondaga. Once just a collection of farms, the Camillus area has grown up into a pleasant suburb. It offers many conveniences and still maintains the country feel of open spaces and the charm of old barns dotting the landscape. Just a few miles away is the New York State Fair Grounds where, in addition to the annual State Fair, events take place throughout the year.
Camillus is in the West Genesee School District, one of the largest districts in the area. The West Genny Wildcats boast several strong athletic teams, a tremendous music program including a championship marching band, and challenging academics.
Houses in the Camillus area sell anywhere from about $50,000 to $150,000 and more, and there is some new construction. Older homes on large lots are available. Many of the properties just outside the village limits have wonderful views of this hilly region.
