I was going to suggest Pittsford, too. Plus Fairport, Victor, and Canandaigua. All Rochester-area with access to excellent health care.

These areas are super affordable compared to NY/NJ/CT. Just be sure to consider the property tax. It's very high, especially in Monroe County.

Lastly, Rochester tends to consider itself "Western NY," not upstate. In many ways, the vibe is more midwestern than NYC.


It's all upstate.


But there’s NYC upstate which tends to mean Hudson Beacon and Hudson Valley. And then other upstate

Hudson valley and below will be the only area with close access (2 hours) to truly international airports - eg Newark, JFK. Albany as the second airport.

If hudson Valley, look at Rhinebeck, Kingston, Saugerties and Woodstock.

Taxes? Compared to where?? I have a house upstate and pay far less than friends in CT, NJ and Westchester.

I'm with the folks suggesting Skaneateles and Saratoga Springs. I've lived in both the Albany and Syracuse areas and can say both towns are top notch.

Hudson Valley has a lot of nice towns.

If you are on the east side of the river there are trains that run directly along the Hudson River (either Amtrak or Metro North) to NYC for relatively smooth airport access.

Woodstock, NY. 90 minutes from Albany and Westchester airports; cute town; close to Amtrak into NYC; 2 hours from NYC by train or car.

Skaneateles and Saratoga Springs would be the top of my list. Both would be close to Syracuse and Albany airports. Maybe Ithaca? Congrats on a potential move to upstate NY. I miss that area!

We live in Ancram. It’s in Columbia County - east of the Hudson River. Lovely quiet area but 20 minutes to Hudson, Copake, Rhinebeck, Catskill. Berkshires are 45 minutes away. It’s an ideal location. Logan Int’l Airport is a little over 2 hours away. We are selling soon. Beautiful home. Let me know if interested.

Just realized Cazenovia College had closed, in addition to Wells. Has to have impact the town, right?
