Outdoorsy Southeast has access to transportation
The mountainous Southeast, in Putnam County, New York, borders Connecticut. The area is 58 miles from New York City and known for its recreation, easy commute and wide range of housing prices. “It offers a good commute to the city. It has a relaxed suburban rural feel to it,” says Lee Kader, a Realtor with Keller Williams. Kader has worked in the industry for 15 years. “It’s not as expensive as Westchester County; you get a little more value for your money compared to there and Fairfield County. You get a little more land as well. It’s relatively suburban and quiet with many reservoirs and parks around the area.” The Brewster area is within Southeast and has both residential and commercial locations. Reservoirs and waterways snake throughout the region, giving it a rural feel, while Interstates 684 and 84 allow access to New York and Connecticut.

“There’s many people who work in the city,” says Kader. “Part of the Metro-North goes right into Grand Central Station. There’s also a lot of remote workers now.

Environmental concerns in Southeast
“There are some properties that are more prone to flooding, there are hilly areas in Putnam County, and there's a lot of rock under the soil,” says Kader. “You can have a down lot, where the road slopes downward.” Flooding is possible during extreme weather, and homes at a lower elevation are more susceptible to flooding. Most homes in this area also use well water and septic tanks.
