The Finger Lakes Region

Interested in buying or renting in the Finger Lakes? We have listings! The Finger Lakes offers tremendous opportunities for vacation homes, primary residences and investment property.

The Finger Lakes are a major tourist destination in the west-central section of Upstate New York. The lakes mainly are linear in shape, each lake oriented on a north-south axis. The longest, Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake, are among the deepest in America. Both are close to 40 miles from end to end, but never more than 3.5 miles wide. These largest lakes resemble the others in shape, which collectively reminded early map-makers of the fingers of a hand. The Finger Lakes area is New York State's largest wine producing region, with over 100 wineries and vineyards. The Finger Lakes region is rich in history and is home to a number of attractions and museums.
