Town of Niskayuna, NY Website
Niskayuna is one of the five towns and one city, Schenectady that comprise the County of Schenectady. Niskayuna lies in the northeast corner of the County, bounded on the west by the City, on the south by the Town of Colonie, and, separated by the Mohawk River, by Clifton Park on the north and east. The Town is about 15 miles northwest of Albany, its principal points of entry being from Route 7, the Troy-Schenectady Road, and Route 5, the Albany-Schenectady Road, continuing north along Route 146, Balltown Road, at Mohawk Commons.
Niskayuna is predominantly a residential community consisting of 7,285 single-family homes, 1,415 apartments, and a small number of town houses and condominiums. Although much green space has been preserved, there are few large tracts of land left for future development. About 85% of the Town's 1.2 billion assessed valuation is residential. Only a small part of its 20% commercial development is devoted to retail use, most being general office and medical or health care facilities. A strong zoning ordinance regulates both residential and commercial development.
