Default Rhinebeck ny

Hi,
I'm originally from NY and moved to the Charlotte area about 3 years ago. I was contemplating about moving back. I lived in Monroe (Orange County). Wanted to explore other parts of NY with still being able to drive to the city on a weekend if we wanted. Rhinebeck seems like there's a lot to do. Just not sure how the area really is. I don't know if I should just look back into Orange County or not. Any helpful information would be great. I also looked online at Cold Springs. Seems nice but a little pricey. Thanks

Rhinebeck is about as scenic and pretty a town as you can find. Surrounding the four corners, which is the center of town, are streets full of beautiful old homes. I grew up about 5 miles away from Rhinebeck, it was just a regular small town then. Over the years, it got to be somewhat artsy w/ lots of boutiques and shops. Don't really know if they're still there. There are still plenty of restaurants. The train station in Rhinecliff is only a few miles away. Plenty to do and see in the area. There is no crime to speak of, actually I don't even think there's a "bad" part to Rhinebeck. There are parks and mansions to visit that are only a few miles away. Dutchess County Fairgrounds has different things like craft fairs and antiques several times a year. The town has always had a "classy" feel to it.

It's probably too small to have a "bad" section of town.

If you're looking into Rhinebeck, don't overlook nearby Red Hook, or Millbrook.

Thanks for the input. I'm excited about exploring other parts of New York. I can't wait to feel like I'm back home again!

You may want to consider the Highland/ Marlborough area of Ulster County. While Rhinebeck is a nice area real estate is quite high. Train service to nyc is located just over the bridge from Highland in Poughkeepsie and real estate is more reasonable. Good Luck Zack
