Jennifer, what a nice place- prices really start as low as under 200k?  WOW.  Maybe it's time to relocate!

Good morning Jennifer,
Thank you, I feel like I just took a tour of Millerton and it was a delight.  I am visiting so many new places through AR.  It's great.

With a population of about 1000, I'm sure most of the residents know each other on a first name basis. I that indeed is a good thing.

Live in Millerton and commute to NYC. Now that sounds tempting!

Thesa - You need to come visit the area you would be amazed.

Missy - That was the idea.  So when you visit Millerton you will be right at home.

Laurie - This area is a bargain when compared to where you are.

Cynthia - I feel the same way, I have taken a tour  of small towns across the US without leaving my home.

Derrick - People in a small town really know each other, this usually means more of a feeling of a community.

Rosario - The train is there so it is possible.  What I have noticed in some of these communities is that people who want the country living but still hold on to their NYC job will go to a town like this.  I think it works best for someone who will work from home part of the week.
