Best City Neighborhood
Tipperary Hill
Tipperary Hill was settled by people of English descent who named the streets after famous English poets. Eventually, Irish immigrants gravitated to the hill. It’s known for the only green-over-red traffic light, the city’s largest park (Burnet Park), the James Pass Arboretum, Tipperary Hill Memorial Park and a plethora of Irish pubs and restaurants. tipphill.us Nominees Westcott Nation wenanation.org Eastwood eastwoodneighbor.com Strathmore strathmoreneighborhood.com The Valley syracuse.ny.us/Home_Valley
