Welcome to beautiful Dutchess County! My family moved from Westchester County five years ago seeking lower taxes, more land, and value. I am happy to say we found it here in Dutchess County where we were able to buy a home we could afford in a great location (1 hour drive to White Plains), close to shopping and tons of recreation! We can visit New York City in less than 90 minutes by taking a train on the Hudson River Line. There are many seasonal activites that take place during the year and I will be posting links ("For Buyers") to those events - so be sure to check my site often.
