Area Description

Beacon, a little City on the Hudson, has been on a steady upswing for the last decade but especially so since the Dia Center for the Arts opened in 2004. A constant stream of new business openings on Main street provide evidence of continued growth. New galleries, restaurants, cafés and wine bars are clear signs of ongoing and irreversible gentrification.

Young N.Y. professionals and artists who have been priced out of such places as Brooklyn are drawn by the easy commute to Manhattan. They are buying and renting in Beacon at an ever increasing pace. You can still purchase a five bedroom house in Beacon for about half of what you would pay for a studio apartment in Manhattan !

Beacon now has a terrific wine store, a wine bar, a great natural food market, Several nice “ cafes “ on either end of the mile long mainstreet. Yoga, Pilates, etc. lots of new fun stores and art galleries. A first rate artistic glass foundry. Gentrification is definitely happening , and,in all likelyhood is , irreversible

On Second Saturdays ( the second Saturday of each month ) all the galleries and shops remain open late and the streets fill with art buffs migrating from opening to opening, with plastic glasses of the inevitable white plonk in hand. You'd think you were in Chelsea!
