Tee Holly Pond Rd, Beekman

Tee Holly Pond Road is a very short road in Beekman, New York. It's only a few hundred feet long and there are not many houses on the road itself, but it is part of a larger neighborhood. I've seen it in some other places called Ice Holly Pond Road, but whatever it is, it's an agreeable spot in which to live.

This neighborhood is a little out of the way. To get here from the closest main road, Green Haven, you'd have to go down and around a few side roads to get to this dead-end street. When you get here, you'll see some homes, many of which have small swimming pools in the backyard. You'll also see more than your fair share of trees. The nearby pond is small and not necessarily easy to see from all parts of the road, but it's there. Given its nice setting, few homes, and distance away from the bigger roadways, I'd have figured that this neighborhood was quiet, anyway, but being familiar with the area, I know it to be true. You'll have some neighbors and I'm sure they're friendly, but you also won't be bothered much out here, either.

The homes aren't necessarily modest, and the estimates for home values in this neighborhood reflect that, coming in at about $400,000. Two homes recently sold on adjacent streets went for $425k and $465k. You wouldn't necessarily think it would be expensive to live here, but it kind of is.

In Beekman, you don't really have a lot of amenities in the area. In fact, you're closer to a prison (about a mile away) than the nearest supermarket. Forget about major shopping around here or other things to do indoors like eating out often or going to the movies. The town is growing, but the businesses haven't caught up to the population yet. It's still a quiet town in general, and you'll have to go to Poughkeepsie or Fishkill for big-time shopping, and possibly Hopewell Junction for a few more restaurant options. There's little in the immediate neighborhood of Tee Holly Pond Road except houses. You definitely need a car to live here, as most everything you'll need to get by in everyday life is several miles away at least.

Aside from the isolation, this is a nice place to be. The neighborhood isn't very big, but it is quiet and calm.
