Default Lower Hudson Valley

As originally moving to Syracuse for work but looks like the lower Hudson valley instead. Where is nice to live and what is there to do around there? Is there a big car scene? I was looking into Hyde Park?

I've lived in New Windsor (Orange County) my whole life. I pass through Hyde Park lots of times throughout the year but couldn't tell you much about living there. It seems nice, best thing is it's 15 minutes from the Dutchess County Fairgrounds where they have a huge car show/swap meet every May. There are plenty of weekly cruise nights in Orange & Dutchess Counties with the largest one held every Wednesday night at Bear Mountain Park just south of West Point. Check out http://www.hvcruise.com/ when the season rolls around for a complete listing of events in the area. We're also within about a 2 hours drive from 3 dragstrips - Lebanon Valley, Englishtown and Island.

What area is your new job located in?

New job requires some driving. I'm a District Parts and Service Manager for American Honda. (District rep). My travels are between Syracuse and Hudson valley.

That's awesome that there are a ton of cruises and car shows! That's exciting! Seems like a ton around there. Did you like new windsor? That's a spot that's on my radar too

Yeah I like it here. Like most areas it has grown considerably over the years, but all in all not bad with plenty of stores, businesses and restaurants nearby. Easy 20-30 minute drive to Middletown or Wappingers/Poughkeepsie area across the river.

Thanks for the great responses! Looking into new Windsor, Newburgh (not the city) or just a tad north. May stay west of the Hudson! Any suggestions?

That's great to hear! I took place in Marlboro NY. So far seems to be a nice area. Little slower lifestyle than im used too but not bad. How far is Rockland county and where are some of the scenarios
