Additional Info~This place is not for me. It is completely country living, and I don't like the country. There is not much as far culture for toddlers, have to drive long distance to get to anything, limited on what there is to do with toddlers. I drive an hour to a decent hospital, Albany Med, although there are 2 hospitals in Kingston. We happen to live in an isolated area, maybe if we lived in the town of Saugerties, or closer to Kingston, I would like it, but I don't and can't wait to leave. Our son, however, loves living here. I must say, kids love it, and people are very friendly here.
