As the cultural hub of Watertown, the Downtown area offers music, drama, art, festivals and more.
Each of the shops offers unique products, and the summer farmer's market provides fresh produce, baked goods, crafts and artisans.
Jefferson County enjoys a lower cost of living index than most of the United States and features housing that is well below national averages: affordable for just about any income.
Downtown is the actual center of Watertown and provides easy access to everything from fitness to education.
In 2012, Watertown was named by USA Today as a runner-up to being the most patriotic small town in America.
Large cities are impersonal. Small towns have little to offer. Downtown Watertown offers the perks of living in a city with the connectedness of a small town where people know your name. Experience a city life with a slower pace. We think it is the best of both worlds.
Four Seasons to Experience
Experience vivid greens, fragrant flowers and rafting in the spring. Get out for some walking or biking in the summer. Take in the fall foliage with its canvas of colors and the crunch of the leaves under your feet. Glistening white snow and skiing beckon you in the winter. 4 seasons, 1 beautiful downtown.
Easy to Navigate
Downtown has been made-over to be extremely pedestrian friendly. Need to go farther? Public transportation abounds: citibus, taxi, charter bus and the Watertown International Airport (ART) is only a 15 minute drive from downtown.
Historical Charm
The Public Square Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and is comprised of 66 properties in the central business district of Watertown, New York. Surround yourself with historical landmarks that highlight architecture, innovation, culture and religion while you shop, dine, work and relax.
