Why Live in Bolton
Between Lake George to the east and the Schroon River to the west lies the Town of Bolton. This 84-square-mile, mostly rural Adirondack community became known for its steamboat landing, where the Village of Bolton Landing now stands, and its historic hotel, the Sagamore Resort, located on Green Island across from the village on Lake George. “The town is anchored by the Sagamore Hotel, and recreational boat tours still leave from its marinas,” says Gregg Sherry, a New York State licensed Realtor with Sherwood Group LLC, who has lived in Lake George all his life and has sold real estate locally for the past 15 years. The resort has been a destination for wealthy vacationers for over a century. Today, the lakes and rolling hills surrounding the larger town attract second-home buyers with outdoor activities, from swimming and boating to hiking, biking, camping and golfing. With only 2,000 permanent residents, Bolton is a seasonal community that owes much of its commerce to vacationers. “Lake George is the economic engine that drives the town,” Sherry says. “And it comes alive in the summer.”
“Bolton has a more boutique, higher-end feel than places like Lake George,” says Angela
