Op. Stamford is a good thought. I was thinking of it.

But why wouldn’t you just move to the Rhinebeck house full time? It has the Amtrak station to the city right there…

Can you suggest some towns? We don’t need to do a daily commute, but don’t want to have to get on a plane to get into the city. Ideally an hour commute but we are flexible.

I’m aware of the train station in rhinecliff since we’ve had a house there for years. But we are tired of rhinebeck. We’d like to go someplace else.

These seem like places you’d want to move with kids.

So move somewhere that you absolutely love. Take your time finding the place. Your kids will come to you from wherever they are.

We want to stay around NY too

Isn’t this more for families?

What about healthcare? You want to come back for the city for your doctors or establish care with local (but maybe not as good, unless you are near yale, nyu, cornell, etc satellites) doctors?

Cold spring is a good suggestion, thanks!
