The Village is the home to Alfred State College, Alfred University, and The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University. Because of the existence of these schools there are more buildings of larger stature than might normally be found in a small rural village. Downtown Alfred is quite historic with many fine examples of architecture. One of the traits of many houses is the terra cotta tile roofs made using local clays.

Alfred's climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters.
