Comparing Vestal and Johnson City for a move

Confirm your campus or workplace address and compare the actual daily route.

By Binghamton Living

Vestal is home to Binghamton University’s main campus and the Vestal Parkway corridor. Johnson City includes UHS Wilson, the university health-sciences buildings, village parks, and the Oakdale Commons area.

First confirm which building you need to reach. A university job does not always mean the Vestal campus, and a hospital job does not always mean Johnson City.

Compare the trip at your normal travel time, including bus service, parking, and walking from the stop or lot. Then compare the unit’s utilities, lease dates, laundry, accessibility, and total costs.

Our Mason Hall and Riverside Drive apartments are in Johnson City. Our other owned buildings are in Binghamton. The broader area guides are open to anyone planning a move.

Use the separate Vestal rental-search guide and Johnson City rental-search guide; our owned units are in Johnson City and Binghamton.
