i agree kingston is great, but its a little more than "an hr away from the city" its along the hudson so you've got mass transit as far as trains and stuff go.
kingstons great. i like it in the fall.

there are some great little towns on the island also and if you are driving at 3 oclock sunday morning there are even more an hour away. The further east you go the better. westhampton beach and Quogue if i spelled it rite are just two that are very nice. and if you take the train it is an hour anytime.

I may be biased (since I'm selling land in Orange County) but I feel Warwick is the nicest town/area just north of NYC. And it is one hour away. Moderator cut: advertisingTwo building lots ready to go. I am not a developer, just a guy who moved here right after 9/11 from lower Manhattan and loves it....so come on up.

i live in neewburgh in orange county(definetly not it). But warwick is very nice, but very expensive. Cornwall is pretty nice too along with Goshen and Washingtonville. Look into them.

Port Jervis? No way. I used to live there. Horrible schools, very dirty.
