Carmel vs Brewster in Putnam County, NY. Which is better?
My wife and I are considering buying a home in Carmel or Brewster. We like Carmel's town with the size and the shops, the schools receive good statistical reviews, the houses are with good bargains. Brewster is commuting wise, easier to NYC, the housing bargains are better, the taxes are cheaper, but the schools are inferior statistically, the town is unknown to us, but some have said it isn't anything to rave about. An acquaintance of my wife who resides in Brewster and teaches there claims Brewster has received an unfair shake and that the town is pleasant and the schools are comparable, if not better to Carmel. I don't see this as an unbiased opinion though. Which home would have a better value? Brewster is more affordable for us but I would assume Carmel has the much higher value now and in the future. Again, we really liked the town of Carmel and Brewster is still unknown to us. Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions?
