As a local resident, I am always thrilled, though never surprised, to see our beautiful Hudson Valley and Catskills communities recognized by major publications. This week, Newsday published a glowing travel feature highlighting our very own riverfront neighbor: "Coxsackie, NY: A 3-hour weekend getaway from Long Island."
It is incredibly rewarding to see the rest of New York discover what those of us in the Earlton, Athens, and Coxsackie areas have long cherished. From the beautifully restored 19th-century architecture of the historic Reed Street corridor to our active, community-focused riverfront park, Coxsackie perfectly represents the thoughtful, design-forward revival happening across Greene County.
"Tucked along the scenic banks of the Hudson River, Coxsackie, NY is emerging as the perfect weekend escape for downstaters seeking historic charm and natural beauty. Historically a major brickmaking and river-transportation hub, the village's historic downtown, centered around Reed Street, has undergone a stunning renaissance. Beautifully preserved 19th-century architecture now houses a curated mix of artisanal shops, farm-to-table dining, and boutique hotels, offering an idyllic alternative to busier mountain resorts."
"For Long Islanders, Coxsackie provides a seamless transition from coastal life to quiet riverfront tranquility. With the majesty of the Catskill Mountains rising in the background and a park lining the waterfront, the village is an ideal basecamp for hiking, antiquing, or simply watching the yachts glide past. It's a place where historic heritage feels perfectly integrated with contemporary culture."
For buyers looking to transition or invest upstate, Coxsackie represents an incredible value proposition. It offers the historic riverfront charm of Hudson or Athens, but with its own distinct pace and emerging opportunities. Whether you are looking to purchase a historic brick home near the water, find an off-market renovation project, or strategically position a modern cabin escape, this market has a lot of momentum.
As a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with EXIT Realty Connections, I combine my deep local roots with a data-driven background to help buyers from Long Island, NYC, and beyond navigate our regional market with absolute clarity. If Coxsackie is on your radar, I would love to help you explore what is currently available.
