New York City may be one of the most popular places to live in New York state, but that doesn't make it the best place in the state to buy a home. It's not even close — literally.

The No. 1 place to buy a home in the Empire State is Bethlehem, a town of roughly 35,000 in Albany County that's about three hours away from, and 150 miles north of, New York City, according to financial website GOBankingRates, which conducted a study to find "the best place to buy a home in every state based on the quality of the area and what sort of value you can expect based on the local housing market."

The study used data from real-estate websites Zillow and AreaVibes and focused on five metrics: livability (measuring factors such as amenities, employment and education); median home listing price; median home value; home value forecast (gauging the "return you can expect on your money"); and buyer-seller index (a score that determines "whether the current market favors people looking for housing or looking to sell" relative to other towns in the same metro).

Here's how Bethlehem ranks:

• Livability score: 63
• Home value forecast: 9.6 percent
• Buyer-seller index: 0.27

Based on the most recent data from Zillow, here's what buyers can expect to pay:

• Median listing price: $309,900
• Median home value: $267,100

"Buying in Bethlehem is projected to give you one of the best one-year returns on your money at 9.6 percent," says GOBankingRates.

"And if you're younger and looking in the Empire State, you might need alternatives to the Big Apple, one of the worst cities for millennials looking to buy homes."

The median listing price for a home in New York City is $829,000 and the median home value is $681,500. Meanwhile, only 5 percent of millennials looking to buy a home this year said they plan to spend $500,000 or more, according to a survey from Clever Real Estate.

Another major hole in the ground, soon to sprout luxury. Along Delancey Street.

Work is at a feverish pace as excavation and foundation activity at Site 3 of Essex Crossing proceeds.

Here’s an update from Delancey Street Associates’ weekly e-blast:

Drilling is complete for the foundation work [at 202 Broome Street], except at tunnel locations. Proof testing and locking off tiebacks is complete. Will continue to install second waler and stub beam along MTA wall. De-watering set up will continue. Excavation for footings and placement of mud mats. Waterproofing and rebar installation to follow, as well as a concrete pour for footings.Trenching and waterproofing for underground plumbing piping.

In the meantime, traffic around this intersection is a nightmare, as it was completely reconfigured for the duration of the project. Indeed, the block of Suffolk Street between Broome and Delancey is closed to pedestrians and motorists “until further notice.” The space will instead act as staging areas for construction materials and equipment for the construction of towers at Sites 3 and 4.

Construction of 202 Broome is part of Phase II of the billion-dollar mega-project, which kicked off earlier this year. It’s billed as a 15-story development with 83 market-rate condos across 104,594 square-feet (no affordable housing here) as well as 153,819 square-feet of commercial space for the Market Line.

There is also a tunnel route connecting 202 Broome Street with its neighbors at 115 Delancey (Site 2) and 180 Broome (Site 4).

That massive rig installed in the dormant lot at 159 Ludlow Street is activated. Its purpose is literally out of this world.

The temporary structure hoists an orb-shaped screen that will project imagery from space. Indeed, the installation streams real-time video from a satellite orbiting Earth. Artist Sebastian ErraZuriz is also involved in the project, as previously reported. This slideshow of sorts will be displayed 24/7, albeit without an audio component.

It begins next Wednesday (March 13) and runs through April 14.

And with it, the status quo in this Ludlow lot has been disturbed.

Neighbors now have a front-row seat to a month’s worth of video programming in the vacant lot at 159 Ludlow Street. On infinite loop.

Does this set a precedent for scope of potential future art projects here?

What a crazy day yesterday was: A City Council Member blasted his colleagues’ hopes of legalizing e-scooters right in front of them at a press conference. Then Mayor de Blasio tossed cold water on the whole legalization thing anyway. And then we were leaked a copy of a preliminary — or “outdated,” if you believe the MTA — set of painful service adjustments that might have to be made to accommodate Gov. Cuomo’s supposedly painless L-train repair.

All this, even as we were still trying to figure out if there is a method to Cuomo’s MTA madness.

But by day’s end, we took stock and prepared our curated list of news morsels to sate your information appetite:

• All of the papers had some coverage of the e-scooter/e-bike debate. The Daily News played it straight. The Wall Street Journal focused on the supposed danger of e-scooters. Soft-spoken humanist Vin Barone at amNY championed the benefit of legal e-bikes to New York’s hard-working delivery people.
• Noel Hildalgo, Alex Baca and Stephen Miller collaborated on a Daily News op-ed about how New York could easily get the scooter thing right. How? More scooters. And more bike lanes!
• Alec Baldwin pleaded guilty for shoving a man in a dispute over a parking space that really shouldn’t be free anyway, as Streetsblog reported last year. He’ll undergo anger management, whatever that means. (ABC7, NY Times, amNY) The Wall Street Journal had a nice detail: Apparently Baldwin has no prior criminal record. Who would have thunk it?
• Gothamist did a thorough story on the cop who pushed the cyclists, lied about it, got caught after years of suppressed testimony, yet still kept his job.
• Make Queens Safer’s video of school buses barreling down protected bike lanes was picked up by Fox5 News.
• Care to get a whiff of how bad the MTA’s subway elevators are? The Daily News has you covered.
• Get a load of the subway of the future (amNY) while still recovering from yesterday’s disaster…
• Yes, the L train caught a cold on Wednesday — and the entire subway system got pneumonia. The Daily News had video of the water main break at 14th Street that led to cascading problems throughout the system. Gothamist also had pictures.
• And, finally, our friends at Streetsblog USA (and at City Lab) looked once again at why pedestrians are being killed all over the place (well, not really all over the place, but mostly in the Deep South).

Uluh Tea House made its soft opening last Tuesday at 152 Second Ave. between Ninth Street and 10th Street... here's a look at part of their menu, featuring a variety of teas (more than 30) and entrees (they also have desserts and pastries) ...

You can find more details and photos at Uluh's Instagram feed.

Uluh joins the Pure Green-PlantMade combo in the newish retail spaces at No. 152.
