Why Live in Hillsdale

Hillsdale is a rural Columbia County town set against the Berkshire Mountains, appealing to buyers who want a quieter lifestyle surrounded by nature. With Catamount Mountain Resort nearby, residents have easy access to skiing, snowboarding and year-round hiking, along with quick trips to nearby Great Barrington. The town feels less busy than Copake or Chatham and offers more open, gently rolling land than neighboring Austerlitz, creating wide farmland views and a sense of space. Many buyers are drawn to Hillsdale for second homes or vacation properties, though there is also a core group of year-round residents. Living here means embracing rural infrastructure, including private wells and septic systems, occasional spotty cell service and winter maintenance responsibilities on private roads. At the same time, strong fiber internet coverage makes remote work realistic for many households. The hamlet itself is small but provides essential amenities, including a grocery store, library, farmers market and a handful of well-loved restaurants. Families have access to the Taconic Hills Central School District for public education and a highly rated private Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School. While daily errands usually require a car, Hillsdale is within easy driving distance of Hudson and New York City is two to three hours away.
