Saratoga County sits just north of Albany, anchored by Saratoga Springs and its mineral waters. Ballston Spa is the county seat.
The springs made the place famous, first as a health resort and then for horse racing. The Saratoga Race Course is one of the oldest sporting venues in the country and packs the town every August.
Saratoga Spa State Park, Skidmore College, and the Great Sacandaga Lake fill out the rest of the county, which has grown fast as a base for the wider Capital Region.
Only about 14% of Saratoga County homes heat with oil, based on a 2019 survey. Compare local quotes to find the best price near you.
