Why Live in Myers Corner
Myers Corner, NY, a hamlet in the town of Wappinger, preserves its small-town charm while providing access to major employment opportunities and amenities. The area, settled by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1659, is mostly rural with homes on large lots, including cottages and ranch-style houses from the mid-1900s to contemporary styles. Major employers in Dutchess County, such as IBM and Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation, are within reach, and New York City is approximately two hours away. The Wappingers Central School District, highly rated, serves around 10,000 students across its elementary, middle, and high schools. Commuting is facilitated by U.S. Route 9, which connects to Poughkeepsie and Yonkers, and the Dutchess County bus service, with routes to Poughkeepsie’s train station offering direct connections to Manhattan. Local amenities include Meadowbrook Farm market, Falls Diner, and Portofino Pizza & Pasta, with larger shopping centers and the Poughkeepsie Galleria nearby. For things to do, residents enjoy the annual Carni “Fall” at Schlathaus Park, fishing at Lake Oniad, and attractions like Fun Max Adventure Park and SplashDown Beach waterpark. The closest hospital, Montefiore St. Luke's Cornwall, is 10 miles west, and New York Stewart International Airport is less than 15 miles south.
