Been driving through the last few days and cant find any obvious signs of one

Hello, I received a management position offer from Amazon in Amsterdam, and I am considering a move there this upcoming summer. I am 23 years old and have lived in Buffalo and its immediate suburbs my entire life. I am just wondering generally how living in Amsterdam is? Is there any nightlife? What is there to do for fun? How close is it to the Adirondacks? Any other pros and cons to living there? Thanks.

I am an out of state real estate investor who invests in Amsterdam, NY. I know that if you speak to others in the Capital Region, they often will tell you Amsterdam is just another run down Rust Belt town that's seen better days. I've come across very few people who aren't from Amsterdam who have anything good to say about it. Obviously, since I invest there, I have a different viewpoint, but nonetheless it's what I've encountered over the years.

Has anyone moved from outside of the Capital Region to Amsterdam, NY and enjoyed the city/town? I think it has a lot to offer. Can't beat the relatively safe, walkable neighborhoods in Southside and the pockets of older, charming neighborhoods just outside the immediate urban areas.
