Don’t worry about tripping over bicycles, storage boxes, and other things that you might have kept in the garage or in a storage unit until now. Instead, put those things in your unfinished basement! Whether you’re storing a kayak for the winter or a sled until tomorrow, the basement provides ample storage space for no extra fees and no drive to a storage facility.
Stainless steel appliances including a washer and dryer, elegant quartz countertops, and luxurious yet easy-to-clean vinyl plank flooring are just the first things you’ll find in your beautiful new home. You’ll also love the frameless tiled showers with glass doors, large kitchen island and pantry, beautiful modern cabinetry, and the huge walk-in closet in the primary bedroom.

We handle the rest. When you’re ready to head out for a weekend adventure or a night on the town, you’re just a short walk or drive away from shopping, dining, entertainment, and a quaint little pocket park. Just minutes from Market Street, you’ll find no shortage of things to do, and with the Chemung River flowing through Corning and the Southern Finger Lakes so close, summertime water activities are fair game.

Insider tip: They make their Greek Salad with peppadew peppers instead of tomatoes and it’s so good!
Transformation of Northside Place: From High School to Home
Northside Place stands on land that has witnessed more than a century of history. Its roots trace back to the opening of the first Northside High School building in 1887, followed by a second structure in 1908. However, it was the grand edifice erected in 1927 that etched itself into the cherished memories of countless Corning residents.
For nearly four decades, this structure served as Northside High School, a hub of education and community. In 1963, it transformed into Northside Middle School and later became Northside Blodgett Middle School. Then, in 2014, the final chapter unfolded as the school closed its doors, and in 2018, the building was laid to rest. For many long-time residents, this marked the bittersweet end of an era, laden with memories.
With more than a century’s worth of history ingrained in this ground, it wasn’t merely a blank canvas on which to construct beautiful homes for rent. This place carried a character, a spirit of its own. We paid homage to this character not just through the construction of these residences but by erecting a monument, ensuring that the legacy of what came before would endure.
As new families write their own stories within these walls, they too will honor and remember those who walked this space before them. The echoes of the past continue to resonate, creating a bridge between generations and preserving the rich tapestry of Northside Place’s history.
