Eastwood is a neighborhood in the east of Syracuse, New York, USA. The neighborhood was part of the last round of annexations by the City of Syracuse, in 1928. Today the neighborhood still has a strong sense of community, and its nickname is "the village within the city."
Eastwood's main retail corridor is along James Street, which still boasts a village-like atmosphere that many neighborhood residents are working to preserve. The Eastwood Neighborhood Planning Group worked to amend the Zoning Rules and Regulations of the City of Syracuse to require neighborhood approval to any changes to the building structures along James Street. Recently there has been a great deal of controversy over a proposed Walgreens store. The company originally wanted to build a suburban-type store, with a parking lot in front of the store, but had to change its plans.
The neighborhood is also home to the Palace Theatre, completed in 1924. It has recently been restored and serves as not only a movie theatre but also as a facility for the community.
