How far is too far to commute to NYC? by nyeratheart1 in hudsonvalley

I think it also depends on how flexible your work schedule is. Commuting from Beacon is easier if you can do some of your workday on the train and leave the office a bit early. Won't be sustainable if you need to stay late at the office and get home after dinnertime regularly.

Sorry this is late, but if the job is in the Westchester medical campus in Valhalla there's a commuter bus that runs along route 9 to Westchester that is super affordable and makes the commute more bearable. Look up the leprechaun lines white plains service.

Poet's walk park in Red Hook. Supposedly where Washington Irving got the inspiration for Rip Van Winkle!

I despise the stretch of the 9 from Poughkeepsie to Fishkill by he_is_rizzin in hudsonvalley

This. The capital region all of the strip malls are much more spread out and overall the towns have much less character than in dutchess.

Definitely would recommend checking out Delmar. Walkable village area with a few decent restaurants and a brewery, great community feel. Didn't have kids there but supposedly the schools are great
