Piermont is a slowly growing Hudson Valley village close to NYC
Formerly a Hudson Valley railroad and milling town, the village of Piermont is now a quiet suburb with highly rated schools, about 25 miles north of New York City. “Once people discover it, they spread the word, and we have more and more people coming to see what it’s about,” says Noemi Morales Barile, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty with more than 50 sales in Piermont, her hometown of 30-plus years. “Once they come, they want to stay.” More than 2,500 residents live in Piermont, most of them citybound commuters coming home to suburban tranquility alongside several restaurants in a small but walkable downtown. “On the weekend, you can park your car on a Friday night and not get into it again until Monday morning,” Morales says.
Piermont is small but walkable in its downtown area.
Piermont offers a walkable layout, with most homes situated along its main avenues.

Golfing and pool clubs and a historic pier are among Piermont's parks
Piermont is named for a pier built by the Erie Railroad in the 1830s to serve Manhattan -bound barge traffic. Though the pier is now closed to barge traffic and boats, the spit of land is still an important part of daily life. “It’s a walking destination for most people,” Morales says. “They come to walk on the waterfront promenade, which is a round trip of 2 miles. It takes you right into the river. On that walk, you can walk your dog, ride your bike, you can fish — you can do anything.” Flywheel Park also takes its name from a piece of Piermont history: A flywheel was left behind after the paper factory closed, and the heavy piece of machinery now serves as the centerpiece for a park that hosts the local farmers market. On the south side of the village, Tallman Mountain State Park combines hiking trails with scenic swimming at the Tallman Beach and Pool Club. “It’s an amazing pool that overlooks the Hudson River,” Morales says. “They have a liquor license, so you can get a margarita, and they also have a restaurant there. It’s all within walking distance from the village.” Other trails, like the Old Erie Path and those at the Blauvelt State Park, are easily accessible as well, and the Rockland Country Club is a mile away. “Any avid golfers can be a mile away from one of the nicest courses, and they can be a 10-minute drive from a local course, Blue Hill, that’s for Orangetown residents,” Morales says.
Blue Hill Golf Course is a stunning public golf course near Piermont, NY.

Piermont's housing market combines history with new development
The village housing market includes condos and detached homes. “There are homes that were built in the 1700s that have been meticulously restored, and we also have newer homes,” Morales says. Inland condos have sold for $280,000 to $360,000, while those on the river typically sell for $450,000 to $920,000. Townhouses on the river go for $730,000 to $1,220,000. Single-family homes below 2,250 square feet cost between $300,000 and $920,000. Larger houses sell for $990,000 to $2,000,000. Most residents live along main avenues, including the riverside Piermont Avenue or the hillside Hudson Terrace, both of which offer sweeping valley views.

Italian, Irish and other cuisines are also represented in Piermont’s eateries. “You also have a great bicycle shop for people who are avid cyclists, and they come from all over, including the city,” Morales says. “It’s an art community, so we do have some galleries in town.” Grocery options include the Stop & Shop in Orangeburg and the ShopRite in Northvale across the New Jersey state line.
