Who We Are:

We believe renting should be simple process. As a family-run business, we're Ithaca locals who answer the phone, know our properties inside and out, and treat our tenants the way we'd want to be treated.

That means responsive maintenance from our own in-house team and straightforward leases. Whether you're a student renting your first apartment or a local looking for a place to call home, we're here to make the process easy from the first tour to move-out day.

For decades, Lower Real Estate has helped Ithaca students and residents find a place to call home. As a family-run business rooted here, we know this town, its neighborhoods, and what actually makes a rental work for the people living in it.
