"A town in name only"

This is hardly a town .It does have a sizable school but the burden of paying for it falls hard upon the property owners. The property taxes are stunning.. It is close to the Hudson River and the countryside is charming. The winters are long though and the town has nothing to soften its edge.

Cons

must have a car to get aroun d
no nightlife (must travel to nearby Valatie, NY)
