Russia, New York Homes For Sale & Real Estate

About Russia

When someone says, "Let's go to Russia," it sounds like you'll need a passport, a travel visa, a translator, and a long plane ride. But it's actually the name of a town in Herkimer County—just north of Utica—in Upstate New York. Originally called the Town of Union, it was renamed Russia in 1808, and is also sometimes called New Russia, to avoid confusion with its European counterpart. It's a beautiful area of just over 60 square miles, near the Adirondack Mountains. And it's a perfect place to find your new home.
