Preserved small-town charm in lower New York state
Myers Corner is a mostly rural community with homes on large lots just minutes from shopping hubs. A hamlet in the town of Wappinger, the area was settled by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1659, and it quickly became a significant agricultural community. By the late 1800s, Wappinger was home to nearly 30 factories. Today, the town has preserved its small-town charm while still offering major employment opportunities and easy access to the rest of the state. “It’s a beautiful area that seems like it’s out of the way, but it’s still connected to major highways,” says Jose Santos, a Real Estate Salesperson with K Fortuna Lighthouse Realty, who’s been selling homes here for over a decade.
Major employers in greater Dutchess County include IBM and the Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation. The area is also around two hours north of New York City, which is home to offices for 65 Fortune 500 companies.
Myers Corner offers quiet living near modern convenience.
Single-family homes from the mid-1900s to present day
Homebuyers can find cottages and ranch-style homes from the mid- to late-1900s, as well as newly built contemporary styles. Properties often feature large yards with driveways and, occasionally, attached garages. Single-family homes tend to stay on the market for about two months and sell for a median price of $510,000, which is above the state and national median.

Commuting on U.S. Route 9, bus, train
Myers Corner is car-dependent because of its rural layout. U.S. Route 9 borders the area, running 7 miles north to Poughkeepsie and 50 miles south to Yonkers. Dutchess County also runs a bus service, with the A-Line along Route 9 offering daily routes to Poughkeepsie’s train station. Poughkeepsie’s train runs 60 miles south with a direct connection to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan. “Despite the distance, a lot of people here still commute to the city for work,” says Santos. Montefiore St. Luke's Cornwall, the closest hospital, is 10 miles west across the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge. The closest major airport, New York Stewart International, is less than 15 miles south.
