A little village where life is slower
The Village of Voorheesville may be just a few miles from Albany, but it offers residents all the advantages of rural living, such as a slower pace of life and time to connect with neighbors. “Voorheesville is not big, but it is very family oriented. It’s the kind of place where people move when they want to live somewhere with an old town feel to it,” says Jeffrey Beunau, a Realtor with Howard Hanna who grew up in the village. “There are little mom-and-pop stores and a local pizza parlor. It has a family atmosphere, and everyone knows everyone.”
Homes in Vorheesville sit on cul de sacs.

Newer craftsman and custom-built homes are springing up in the area. Single-family homes in Voorheesville can start around $230,000 and range up to $730,000.

Rails, trails and ziplining
Voorheesville is part of the busy Rail Trail, a 9-mile paved trail that follows along old railroad tracks from Voorheesville to Albany. Although the railroad's role has changed for this village, it's still bringing people together to build community. Just outside town, Stephen P. Wallace Park features tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields, a playground and walking trails. Nearby John Boyd Thacher State Park offers locals more than 2,000 acres of hiking trails, views of the Catskills Mountains and plenty of outdoor adventures including ziplining.

A traditional celebration
“The Memorial Day parade is the big event in Voorheesville,” says Fiero. “I call it our Norman Rockwell moment. Firetrucks, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, the high school marching band and Little League teams all participate. Afterward, everyone meets at Village Park. Local politicians speak, and the VFW gives out free hot dogs, soda and beer.” There is a firework display at night, and the local fire department has a cookout. Fiero says it’s a wonderful chance to catch up with neighbors.
Biking is popular here. Every year community members participate in Family Bicycling Day, a bike block party that with live music, face painting and a traveling petting zoo. The event kicks off at the Albany County Helderberg-Hudson Rail Trail Pavilion.
