Established in 1788, Beekman was originally a farming and mill town but has since evolved into a quiet residential area. “It’s a suburban community with a rural setting convenient to Taconic State Parkway and Interstate 84 for anybody commuting,” says Blake Michaud, a Realtor with Serhant LLC who has over 42 years of experience. “They’re people-friendly neighborhoods; you won’t see graffiti or anything like that.” Residents are mindful of preserving the town’s character, so shopping and dining are limited, and homes date as far back as the late 18th century. “It’s a great place to live,” Michaud says.
