Be the first business Rensselaer County calls.
Rensselaer County sits on the east bank of the Hudson across from Albany, running from Troy and the city of Rensselaer east to the Vermont and Massachusetts borders. Troy is the county seat and the county's commercial center, with a restored downtown, the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Russell Sage College and Hudson Valley Community College. The city of Rensselaer holds the Albany-Rensselaer Amtrak station, East Greenbush and North Greenbush have grown along Route 4 and Route 9/20, and rural towns like Hoosick Falls, Stephentown and Berlin stretch toward the Taconic hills.
Customers here split between urban and rural. Troy has dense neighborhoods of older row houses and apartments, a large student population and a growing restaurant and arts scene. The suburban towns are home to families commuting to Albany and the state offices. Further east, residents live on large lots with wells and septic, drive long distances and often know the businesses they hire personally. People rely on cars, with Route 7, Route 2 and I-90 as main links, and many search for services they can reach without crossing the river during rush hour.

Rensselaer County at a glance
What shapes marketing in Rensselaer County
The river as a dividing line
Many customers prefer businesses on their side of the Hudson to avoid bridge traffic. Rensselaer County businesses should make their east-side location obvious in their Business Profile, pages and ads.
Troy's college economy
RPI, Sage and HVCC bring students and staff on a fixed calendar. Restaurants, rentals and service businesses in Troy should plan for move-in, graduation and summer slowdowns.
Older housing stock
Troy's 19th-century row houses and the county's farmhouses need roofing, masonry, electrical and plumbing work that newer suburbs do not. Content that shows experience with older buildings builds trust.
Rural eastern towns
The eastern half of the county is sparsely populated with long drives. Businesses serving these areas need clear service-area settings and strong word of mouth reflected in reviews.
