Cornwall NY is a beautiful Hudson River town encapsulated by Storm King Mountain and the Western Hudson Highlands. It's a highly sought-after location for real estate, especially for those who work in New York City. Set in a relatively flat landscape north of a forest wilderness and south of the New Windsor's suburban landscape, Cornwall is 50 miles by car to Manhattan; Metro-North stops at the Salisbury Mills-Cornwall station; and Stewart Airport, the Palisades Parkway and NYS Thruway are 20 minutes away. Cornwall is truly the best of both worlds - wild and civilized.

When you’re in Cornwall NY you’ll be drawn towards Main Street, not only because it’s picturesque, home to attractive shops and restaurants, and where you'll find one of the oldest buildings in town—the Sands-Ring Homestead—but because of Riverlight Park. There you can visit the Town of Cornwall Farmers Market and enjoy music at the Music in the Park concerts, the community pool is there, and there are tennis courts and several baseball diamonds.

Just across the street at the triangular Monument Park, Main Street splits off to the left, Hudson Street takes you towards Cornwall-on-Hudson (known to locals as "the village"), where you can catch glimpses of the Hudson Highlands mountains on the east side of the Hudson River. 

Integrating the past and present and enjoying the Hudson Riverfront is central to Cornwall's lifestyle. Community groups bring various annual festivals to this historic town, like the Cornwall Fall Festival in September, Cornwall Independence Day celebrations, and the Riverfest in June.

When you’re up for less organized outdoor experiences, visit Black Rock Forest, a scientific field station with hiking trails that's open to the public; the 500-acre Storm King Art Center or the Hudson Highlands Nature Museum. Storm King and White Horse mountains have hiking trails or, cross the Hudson River, Bull Hill and Breakneck Ridge.

The natural beauty of the mountains and the river and its accessibility to NYC make Cornwall NY one of the most perfect places to live in the Hudson Valley.

Cornwall NY real estate ranges from the sublime to the practical. Pretty center hall colonials, stately stone homes, village victorian two-stories, and quaint cottages and capes - a handful of which have bucolic rolling meadow, river, or mountain views. 

If you want to live in a historic, small town that's close to the buzz of city living, Cornwall is the place for you. Contact a Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty agent to find your Cornwall dream house.
