After the residential section, NY 352 starts running alongside the Chemung River, bending southeast past some riverside homes before intersecting with the eastern terminus of NY 225 (Hendy Creek Road). After NY 225, NY 352 crosses the municipal line between the town of Big Flats and the city of Elmira. Now known as West Water Street, NY 352 becomes a four lane residential street through West Elmira. At the intersection with York and Coleman Avenues, the route forks into a divided roadway, with NY 352 east running along West Water Street and NY 352 west running along West Church Street. NY 352 east and West Water Street run through a residential section of West Elmira, bending east and passing homes for several blocks.
