Verdant, growing hamlet an hour north of New York City
A growing bedroom community 34 miles north of Manhattan, Congers has changed over the years in more ways than one. The settlement was called Cedar Grove Corner and Waldberg before taking on the name Conger after New York State Senator Abraham Conger. Likewise, while settled by fur traders, Congers became a flourishing blue-collar neighborhood thanks to the emergence of railroads. Today, it’s a hamlet surrounded by parks and highways within the bedroom suburb of Clarkstown, but with low price points. “Home prices aren’t as high as in New City," says Yin Chen, Realtor with R2M who has been selling homes for over 10 years. “It’s a good value proposition for those who want to relocate into a good suburb without having to overpay.”
The city of Congers is a beautiful place to live and raise a family.
Welcome to Congers a wonderful city with great schools and large homes.

Homes and townhouses in Congers
The median home price hovers around $650,000, which is well above the national median but well below properties in New York City and about $100,000 below New City to the west. “A lot of residents have relocated from New York City because of Congers’ favorable value. They’re families who have children now, and Congers gives them more space,” Chen says. Colonial Revival, ranch-style and high ranch-style homes line residential streets, accompanied by the occasional bungalow or Cape Cod. Townhouse communities sit near the east edge of town.
The Congers community is filled with immaculate homes that fit whatever a buyer is looking for.
Townhouse communities are a big part of the Congers real estate market.

Dining in New City and shopping at the Palisades Center
Several restaurants are sprinkled around the village, particularly along Congers Road. DeForest Lake and downtown New City are the go to for restaurants and cafes. Both areas also have a few supermarkets. Only a few miles south of Congers, the Palisades Center is a four-story mall with over 200 stores, an ice rink, rope course, bowling alley and more. For work, many residents don’t have to commute far. “There are local professionals like doctors and teachers who work in town, and a portion of locals commute to New York City or Westchester County,” Chen says. Large employers with offices in or near Congers include the municipal government, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Intercos, a cosmetics manufacturing company.
The Palisades Mall satisfies most of the Congers communities shopping needs.
At the Palisades Mall Congers residents have access to many different eateries and shops to choose from.

Clarkstown Central School District
Students attend the Clarkstown Central School District, which receives an A from Niche. "Congers is served by the same school district and within the same township,” Chen says. The district serves about 9,000 students across 15 schools, with a student-teacher ratio of about 11 to 1. In October 2024, voters approved a $110 million school bond which will go to improving the district’s elementary schools and Birchwood School, which teaches differently abled students.
The Birchwood School in West Nyack is part of the Clarktown Central School District.

Kings Park is a long, narrow green space which runs through Congers and offers basketball courts, open green fields and a pond. A trio of state parks sits just east of Congers. Walking trails weave through Rockland Lake State Park, wrapping around the namesake lake and leading to a playground and pool with waterslides. And Nyack Beach Park invites visitors to hike down its rocky and sandy shores. The members-only Paramount Country Club, home to an 18-hole golf course, is a few miles to Congers’ west. The New York Boulders of the Frontier League professional baseball team play out of Clover Stadium 7 miles west of town.
