Townhouses close to Poughkeepsie and single-family homes on acre lots
LaGrange is a patchwork of farmland with suburban-style homes on winding roadways. Colonial Revival, New Traditional and split-level style homes are common in the area and sit on acre lots. “There’s more demand than there is supply,” says Stettner. “So properties tend to keep their value as long as a house is nice. Depends on the features, how many acres and the condition.” Recently built or upgraded homes go for $500,000 to $975,000, while older homes with little to no updates range from $275,000 to $475,000. Condos and townhouses are closer to Poughkeepsie and along Route 55, and range from $225,000 to $375,000. The area's CAP Index crime score is a 1 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.
