And these days Saugerties holds some great finds for homebuyers, according to Fish Creek Real Estate agent and longstanding resident Pamela Pentony. “There are a lot of great deals now, so buyers should look around a lot,” she explains. “It’s definitely possible to avoid the headaches of buying a foreclosure property to save cash but still get a decent deal.”
“Saugerties is a fantastic place to be,” says Town Supervisor Greg Helsmoortel. “It’s rich in history, the arts, antiques, and fine restaurants. I believe economic development is a positive thing but that it needs to be done right, with a green approach.”
On the side of one of its storied brick buildings is a large mural depicting the town and bearing the legend “Let Saugerties grow gracefully…It’s up to you and me!” It’s a motto the town seems to have very much taken to heart. How cool is that?
