With close proximity to New York City and East Coast hubs, natural beauty and walkable communities, Dutchess County is an attractive locale for families and businesses alike. As more professionals make their home in the county, residential development will give new arrivals many options, from luxury resort living to urban loft space.
CLOSE TO EVERYTHING
“My co-founder also happens to be my wife, and when we were expecting our second child we wanted to leave the city for a better quality of life,” says Jeremy Pyles, creative director of Niche Modern, a pendant lighting manufacturer in Beacon. He cites
accessibility to transportation and a small-town feel close to the big city as the chief reasons he moved to Dutchess County.
Need to get to Grand Central Terminal? Train stations in Beacon, New Hamburg, and Poughkeepsie serve Metro-North Railroad’s Hudson Line. Metro-North’s Harlem Line stops at Pawling, the Appalachian Trail, Harlem Valley–Wingdale, Dover Plains, Ten Mile River, and Wassaic.
Amtrak trains stop in Poughkeepsie and Rhinecli , and are able to take travelers to points like New York City, Syracuse, Bu alo, Toronto, Montreal, and Albany, which o ers connections to Boston and Chicago.
Hudson Valley Regional Airport,
whichiseightmilesfromPoughkeepsie and 12 miles from Beacon, is a cost- e ective alternative for corporate jets and helicopters to Westchester, Teterboro, and Waterbury-Oxford airports. Plus, it’s a 22-minute Sikorsky S-76 helicopter ight from Hudson Valley Regional to Manhattan.
Being close to urban centers is important, as is having room to breathe. The Taconic Mountains, part of the Appalachian chain, run through eastern Dutchess County. Mount Beacon is a popular hiking spot less than two miles from downtown Beacon. The county has morethan110,000acresofagriculture. And the Hudson River and its riverside cli s provide incredible views and recreation opportunities.
