Halfmoon, New York Homes For Sale & Real Estate

About Halfmoon

With a population of 21,000 spread out across 33 square miles, Halfmoon is a key city of Saratoga County situated north of New York’s capital, Albany. Our REALTORS® have heard from many happy home owners that it is the perfect place to enjoy all the city has to offer while maintaining a more relaxed suburban pace.

First settled around 1680, and formally founded 1788, Halfmoon is the site of the southern portion of the Erie Canal. In the north flows the beautiful Anthony Kill, a tributary of the Hudson. Great amenities and the “Great Outdoors” combine to give Halfmoon its character.

Halfmoon’s southern town line is defined by the Mohawk River and forms a border with Albany County. Its eastern town line—the legendary Hudson River—is the border of Rensselaer County. This gives it a favorable location for accessing outstanding New York employers, education, and amenities.
