Yeah, there is no doubt about things being different a little further west from here. My friend lives up in East Berne, I get over there every so often, it's a nice area around there past Albany county, have always appreciated what I've seen over that way. The next county north of here is also nice, but for how long, there is a steady influx of people from NYC/NJ that have found these places attractive because of big differences in real estate costs and how much space you can get for your $$. I was working on a job in Manhattan in '01-'02 and there was an on site architect who was commuting right past my place up over to Rt 40 to Argyle, Whitehall area, on the weekends. I've run into all kinds of people down there doing similar commutes that have bought places in the area. RT. 40 has some really nice farms on it, lot of dairy operations still going on, many old barns with slate roof's from the local quarries, all close to VT., seems the eastern side of NY border is becoming a hot spot. The traffic is backed up on the state road anytime there is a 3 day weekend here, thurs. nite to mon. pm, I can't get out of our lane here many times when they are on the move, mostly NJ plates headed back. Only direction is to head west, but I think these people are also headed to Schoharie as well.
We have another 50 acres or so off Rt 67, 2 barns house, big riding arena, not far from Amsterdam, close to Saratoga and it seems montgomery county and places further west are so much less on taxes, Saratoga has become a hot spot, at least this place has some serious value being where it is, not sure what they pay on taxes there or if they plan to stay, the neighbor up there commutes 30 miles to work everyday to enjoy his place. It's fair to say a lot of people are starting to realize the value of having some space.
The link was bad on that article, it's funny, as this area has been kind of isolated, but the greed of developers is always on the horizon, one good thing, not an easy place to develope and there is no highway close enough here to relieve traffic, so residents are not going to like development proposals, can't wait to see the cork blow off on this one, someday soon it's going to happen too much going on too fast.
