Thinking about moving to Hudson or Columbia County? You wouldn't be alone. Whether you are looking for the pastoral beauty of our rural towns (which are just a 10 minute drive from Hudson) or the hip, artsy with a dash of funkiness mix that makes Hudson the unique small city that it is. Hudson has long been know as a live and let live kind of place. Generations of Hudsonians saw an open red-light district operating in the city for decades on Diamond Street (now Columbia St). This is a place where people of different ages, races, genders, sexual orientations and economic backgrounds, regularly find themselves at the same place enjoying the same things. Whether it is Lady Moon doing a Motown set, followed with a set of her own material at Savoia; or the open-mic night at the Red Dot or Parlor; or seeing the Bindlestiff Family Circus at the brand new and stunning Helsinki Hudson. An amazingly diverse group of residents and visitors celebrate that diversity. Hudson has long been known as the "friendly city". It really is. So whether you are looking for a mansion on the river or a fixer upper on the north side of the city, there is a place that is just right for you. Carolyn Lawrence and Sarah Sterling at Halstead Hudson Valley or Ruth at Ruth Moser Real Estate or Tom Swope with Peggy Lampman can help you find the place of your dreams. More to come. |
