Delight in the charms of this Hudson Valley town

Riverside
Saugerties sits where the Catskill Creek meets the Hudson River, giving this small Ulster County town a quietly grounded identity that sets it apart from flashier Hudson Valley neighbors. Once a center of the American paper and leather industries, the town has held onto its working-roots character while drawing artists, musicians, and craftspeople who appreciate the slow pace and the surrounding Catskill Mountains scenery. It gained a legendary footnote in music history when Bob Dylan and The Band recorded the Basement Tapes nearby in the late 1960s, a story locals still tell with pride.
The housing stock reflects the town's layered past. Walkable village streets are lined with 19th-century clapboard homes and converted mill buildings, while the broader township offers farmhouses, ranch-style houses, and newer construction spread across rural lots. Renters can find everything from cozy apartment communities tucked into historic structures to standalone cottages and townhome-style rentals. The range makes Saugerties accessible whether someone wants a walkable village address or a quieter spot outside town.
The State University of New York at New Paltz is roughly 20 miles south, adding an educational presence to the region. Day-to-day life here revolves around the compact village center, the natural landscape, and a creative undercurrent that runs through the community without overwhelming its small-town feel.
