Rhinebeck offers small-town and rural vibes near the Hudson River
About 17 miles north of Poughkeepsie, Rhinebeck is a sprawling town where farmland and forests stretch out from the banks of the Hudson River. Houses often have acreage, but there are also small suburban areas. The tiny hamlet of Rhinecliff unfurls along the river’s edge, while Rhinebeck Village sits near the town’s center. “Rhinebeck is a Dutch village that dates back to the 1600s,” says Sheri Sceroler, a global real estate advisor at Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty who has lived in Rhinebeck for 27 years. “It just has loads of charm — a small-town feeling, farm-to-table restaurants, great boutique shopping, the Catskill Mountains, the Hudson River.” Sceroler says that Rhinebeck is the kind of town where a trip to the grocery store or a local coffee shop is bound to be dotted with familiar faces.
Rhinebeck boasts large beautiful homes, with elegant front porches, for residents to enjoy.
The housing market in Rhinebeck spans from modest historic homes to large estates.
Rhinecliff Landing in Rhinebeck sits right at the Hudson's edge, where locals come to watch the river, clear their head or watch the sunset.

A walkable downtown full of local restaurants
Although Rhinecliff has a small grocery store and a tavern, most of the town’s shops and restaurants are found in Rhinebeck Village’s downtown. For those who live in the village itself, its walkability is a big draw. “There’s a health foods store you can walk to, you can walk to dinner, you can walk to the movies,” Sceroler says. “Everything is within walking distance if you live in the village.” Local boutiques and restaurants fill the little downtown to bursting. Bread Alone Bakery & Café and Le Petit Bistro are favorite brunch spots, Gaby’s is a Mexican spot known for its margaritas and guacamole and Terrapin Restaurant offers tapas in a converted church, originally built in 1825. It’s not the only historic building here, either; Foster’s Coach House is a tavern built in the 1890s, now outfitted with TVs where customers can watch games.
Samuel’s Sweet Shop is another popular spot. The old-fashioned candy store carries a healthy dose of nostalgia, but it’s also famous because it’s co-owned by two Hollywood couples: actors Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton Morgan alongside actor Paul Rudd and screenwriter Julie Yaeger. “That’s definitely a destination point. People drive to come to Samuel’s, the little pinny candy store that’s very charming,” Sceroler says. Residents can catch a movie at Upstate Films: Starr Cinema or pick up groceries at Sunflower Market or Tops Friendly Market.
Samuel's Sweet Shop in Rhinebeck is part old school candy counter, part local landmark, where a few famous co-owners make it a favorite for kids and visitors alike.

Historic Victorian houses and potential for acreage
“When you think Rhinebeck, you think really old homes,” Sceroler says, adding that although there are some newer homes, many are simple Victorians dating to the 1800s or early 1900s. There are also older colonials and American Foursquares. Many recently built homes are even designed to resemble older Victorians or colonials, though there are also a few ranch-style or new traditional homes. Historic homes are common in Rhinebeck’s rural and suburban areas, but Rhinebeck Village has a special historic district where strict rules ensure the preservation of historic details. “If you think 1820s, 1840s, 1860s — all aesthetically on point and very well maintained,” Sceroler says.
Outside of the confines of the Rhinebeck Village or the hamlet of Rhinecliff, extensive acreage is commonplace; many homes have over 5 acres of land, and some have acreage in the double digits. Between their age and potential acreage, prices vary wildly here. Houses with very little land can cost between $460,000 and $850,000, though Sceroler notes that some restored historic houses in Rhinebeck Village have sold for nearly $3 million. Houses with acreage can cost anywhere from $900,000 to $3 million. Estates with acreage on the bank of the Hudson typically cost between $4 million and $8 million.
Many of Rhinebeck's grand Victorian homes add vibrant color to the neighborhood.
Some of Rhinebeck’s older homes have been restored to near perfection, with sale prices stretching from the mid 400s to over three million.

Abundant hiking trails and sailing or boating on the Hudson River
Thompson-Mazzarella Park is one of the town’s developed parks, offering baseball and soccer fields alongside its playground and tennis, volleyball and basketball courts. Most of Rhinebeck’s abundant parks offer wooded hiking paths like Drayton Grant Park at Burger Hill. The three stones that serve as benches at the hill’s peak look out on the mountains in the distance. It’s also a favorite wintertime sledding spot. Nearby, Ferncliff Forest’s 200 acres have 12 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails, a fishing pond, campsites and gorgeous views from the fire tower. The Poets’ Walk is another popular spot just outside Rhinebeck. “It’s got walking trails along the Hudson River where you might see bald eagles and osprey and have a view of the Catskill Mountains and the sunset,” Sceroler says. In the fall, the area is so pretty that Sceroler says it gets “leaf peepers” — people coming up specifically to see the leaves paint Rhinebeck in a kaleidoscope of color.
The Hudson River is also a go-to spot for outdoor recreation, especially during the summer. Sailing is especially popular, but people also fish, kayak and motorboat, and Sceroler says that there’s sometimes kite surfing when the wind is right. During the winter, some still brave the cold to go ice yachting.
The basketball courts at Thompson-Mazzarella Park in Rhinebeck are a go to spot for pickup games, solo practice, and anyone just looking to shoot around after school or work.
Rhinebeck locals love the trails and views of the Drayton Grant Park at Burger HIll.

The same fairgrounds host other events like the Sheep and Wool Festival, the Rhinebeck Antiques Fair and the Rhinebeck Antique Car Show. In the village, Rhinebeck Farmers Market meets every Sunday from May through December, offering fresh produce often grown right in the town alongside homemade goods.

Below average CAP Index, plans to resolve flooding on Chestnut Street
Rhinebeck’s CAP Index crime score is 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
Despite its proximity to the river, First Street, a climate risk data organization, says that the town is only at a moderate risk of flooding. Homes near creeks are most at risk, and there’s been a longstanding problem of extensive rainfall causing flooding on the east end of Chestnut Street in Rhinebeck Village. In 2025, the village began discussing plans to fix the issue with Chestnut Street; several options have been proposed, but none have been picked or set in motion yet. Occasional tropical storms also bring a moderate risk of high winds.
