Secluded living north of Saratoga Springs
The town of Wilton has long lived in the shadow of Saratoga Springs, its neighbor immediately to the south. Still, for longtime residents of this quiet rural hamlet in the Capital District of Upstate New York, that’s one of the many appeals of their hometown. Located only 4 miles north of downtown Saratoga Springs, Wilton allows for convenient access to the culture, entertainment and amenities of Saratoga Springs while maintaining a lower cost of living. “Wilton is a really popular area, and not only because there’s no town tax,” says Jennifer Johnson, a Licensed Real Estate Associate Broker with Julie & Co Realty. “There are lots of self-contained, secluded little neighborhoods, and it’s located right there on Interstate 87.”
Wooded properties surrounded by protected preserves
The majority of Wilton’s housing market is bracketed between Interstate 87 and Saratoga Road – the two north/south thoroughfares cutting vertical lines through the center of the neighborhood – with vast acres of protected nature preserves and wildlife management areas filling the areas to the east and west. The cul-de-sacs inside Wilton’s residential subdivisions are home to large wooded plots of land, with houses set far back from the winding streets and tall privacy fences separating backyard living spaces. Long driveways lead back into two-car garages, most attached to updated ranches, split-level and colonial homes. Wilton is located in the fastest-growing county in New York State, and developers have taken advantage of the demand by building custom homes in small, undeveloped pockets of the community. “The new construction goes under contract quickly, but most of the market is resale,” says Johnson. Homes in Wilton typically sell for $400,000 to $600,000 after only three weeks on the market.
