As I've posted recently, my husband's job is relocating us to Upstate, NY, and I have asked about several places and received amazing responses. My husband is set on living no more than 3 hours away from the city but if is closer it would be better. I have done my research based on the input that I have received, and I really like what I've seen so far in Niskayuna. My husband really likes Cornwall on Hudson even if we have to get into a smaller house because of housing costs. Beyond the distance we are looking for family friendly communities with good schools. Any thoughts on these two cities? Any others that we might have overlooked? Just as a background, we are a Hispanic family with 2 kids, a first grader and an 8 month old.
Thank you so much for your input and for help in this overwhelming process. Thanks!
Where exactly is your husband going to be working, and how frequent will your trips to the city be? Cornwall and Niskayuna are like 2 hours apart, nowhere near each other at all. Niskayuna is also about 3x as far from Manhattan. Pretty odd to be cross-shopping these two towns.
Cornwall has good schools. Make sure the places you're looking at are actually within the Cornwall Central district - in this part of New York, geographical location, post office, and school district do not always match up so you could possibly end up with a Cornwall address that's zoned for New Windsor schools or something.
Knowing your commute destination(s) will definitely help us figure out the best place for you to live.
He works from home, and has accounts throughout the state, but his biggest accounts are in the city. He would be traveling every other week to the city. I we are closer he could do those visits in a day, if we are farther he would have to stay overnight. He will also travel to Toronto, NJ and CT but not as often.

Cornwall would certainly be more convenient to NYC, NJ and CT. I suppose it's further from TO but that would be an overnight trip either way. Either way, that's where my vote goes. Hudson Valley is an amazing area and you can't beat living in a river town. There are other towns in the general area that might also fit the bill.
So, that looks like an area to look into within the Cornwall SD.
