✔ 最佳答案
Kingston, Saugerties, Hurley, Highland, Marlboro, New Paltz, Rondout Valley, Wallkill - you will find that places in Ulster County, on the west bank of the Hudson, are cheaper than the east bank (Dutchess Co.)- Rhinecliff, Rhinebeck, Germantown, Tivoli, Annandale, etc.. You can easily get across the Kingston-Rhinecliff bridge to see what both sides have to offer; you can take MetroNorth down to the city from Poughkeepsie, or Amtrak ($$) down from Rhinecliff.
You need t move a little further north than you think, to get good value in housing, and that big yard that you crave - and a LOT less noise.
