“I lived in New York City for several years... Living in Jamestown was a BIG change for me – slower pace, less noisy, no traffic. There’s more grass, woods, and lakes, and the surrounding areas around Jamestown offer hunting opportunities. I never heard about hunting deer before! There’s also fishing, canoeing and kayaking on the Conewango River, four-wheeling, bonfires with my neighbors, and more. I was introduced to a new world after living in the city. I love how laid back it is!”

“It’s location to the rest of the east coast is very central. Upstate New York has so much to travel to and do. The abundance of locally grown produce and locally farmed meat and chicken offers some great choices. The local food is also very affordable here. I value the great sense of community and safety in this area.”

“There are aspects of the places I lived in while in Ohio that are similar to Chautauqua County but I fell in love with Jamestown the first time I visited. I have found a community in Jamestown that truly cares about one another and there is such great opportunity to get involved in our community.”
