Housing inventory is coming and going in Beacon. Finding the right match between house and price is proving delicate. Some Beaconites who are moving from their homes, or are currently renting and want to buy their first-time home, have been spreading out to neighboring towns like Wappingers Falls and New Hamburg, if they aren’t finding just the perfect fit in Beacon.

New Hamburg is a “hamlet” that is a river-town near Beacon, just south of Bowdoin Park, a popular summer playground for Beaconites. New Hamburg is near Beacon (a 10-15 minute drive), with its own New Hamburg Metro-North train station, making it ideal for commuters. Being in a hamlet can be nice because it offers additional peace and quiet nestled between two communities: Wappingers and Beacon. You get the best of several worlds.

This house, featured in A Little Beacon Blog’s Real Estate Guide by Jon Car Realty, is one of our first from New Hamburg. And it just had a shift in price. The listing as of November 1, 2019 is $359,900. The house is near the New Hamburg train station, which according to the realtor, is a two-minute walk from this home. Beacon is the next stop if you’re headed to NYC.

Schooling for this house is in Wappingers Falls. Wappingers has two high schools, and a growing community of new purchases of charming older homes as people want to stretch out from Beacon.

New Hamburg also has marina life: If you are a boater, you may enjoy the New Hamburg Yacht Club and White’s Hudson River Marina.
