A thriving art community
Midtown Kingston in Upstate New York, considered a second-home destination in the past, is becoming a popular hub for artists who have relocated from places like New York City. Sean B. Nutley of Hudson Valley Company says the artists have brought a new energy to the community. Since there has been an influx of creative minds, the neighborhood has established affordable housing for artists to influence more relocaters. “It’s a real hotspot for artists,” says Nicole Polito of Berardi Realty. “There’s also lots of development going on.” Polito adds that many residents who grew up in the community and moved out of the area, are coming back. She cited affordable living as one of the reasons.
Shuttered buildings have been converted
Most of the housing stock consists of Single and two-family homes, old-style homes, Victorians, two-family homes and Edwardian-style houses — price points tend to land between $156,000 to $2.5 million and the average size of the dwellings is 1,461 square feet on lots with median sizes of 4,356 square feet. A two-family home ranges between $267,000 to $315,000. Two-family homes have become popular in the region. Some are converted from a single-family home for homeowners who want to live in one part while renting the other to offset costs. Many residences are converted buildings that housed companies until they shuttered during an economic downturn. Some of the buildings were once vacant. This is a car-dependent area, but there are two public bus stops.
Midtown Kingston’s housing market ranges from $156,000 to $2.5 million.
