Kingston, New York, is a small city in the Hudson Valley that has appeal to both outdoorsy types and culture mavens: Here you can enjoy the Catskill Mountains and check out local art, history, and shows. 

You can also buy a house for much less compared to more tony areas closer to New York City just over two hours away by car. The median sales price is currently $350,000, according to Realtor.com. You can find historic houses within walking distance of the downtown area, houses set in more suburban areas, or places in more rural locations.

And there’s more here to do than you might think. You can catch a show at Ulster Performing Arts Center, check out exhibitions at Hudson River Maritime Museum and ArtPort Kingston, explore Kingston Uptown Historic District (also known as Upton Kingston), plus visit the many parks like Forsyth Nature Center and historic cemeteries like Old Dutch Church Cemetery (rumors say it’s haunted). 

For shopping, there are local boutiques like Half Moon Books, antique stores, big-box chains like Walmart, and Hudson Valley Mall (think Target and Dick’s Sporting Goods). The dining scene also offers chains like Texas Roadhouse and Panera Bread plus locally-owned eateries like Deisings (great for ordering custom cakes), Savona’s, Lola, and Front Street Tavern.
