I'm in the process of narrowing down specific areas to consider seriously for relocation. Since I can't find time (right now) to fully explore each one I hope that I can get some feedback from this forum. I would enjoy reading opinions about 2 areas I'm interested in, the New Paltz region and the Saratoga Springs region. I've got a fair idea about local property taxes and housing but I need info about everyday life, things to do, local stores, how far to hiking or biking trails, water sports, local hangouts... where are the movie theaters, music venues? Where do the locals go for a frozen yogurt, in the middle of the night, do upstate drivers tail-gate as closely as downstate drivers (and can I shoot at them) ??
Any info is much appreciated.
I've lived in Saratoga before. There are many locally owned resturants, stores, among other things on the Main Street (Broadway). I love the track in the summer, and Lake George is just a few minuets away. There was a very nice theater that just opened up in downtown a few months ago, and there are several more in the area. There is SPAC (Saratoga preforming arts center) which has a many impressive concerts and shows. There are nature rrails are everywhere 'cause of all those dang Adirondaks. And you HAVE to go to the spas, they are really quite incredible. I don't know much about frozen yogurt, but we have some of the best ice cream in the WORLD (a gas station called Stewart's won an INTERNATIONAL ICE CREAM COMPETITION for crying out loud!) There are also many farmer's markets in the area, along with many incredible local farms. Some dairy farms will even deliver fresh milk in glass bottles to your house. No, you cannot shoot drivers, and no they are not nearly as bad as the ones down state. Sorry, don't really have anything on New Paltz though.
