Welcome to Gardiner, NY

 
It is a part of a 45-square-mile town, which website modestly describes itself as "a minor civil division located in southern Ulster County." But we prefer to think of Gardiner as "New Paltz Lite."
 
Both New Paltz and Gardiner real estate offer postcard views of the Shawangunk Mountains from the towns' vantage points along the mountains' eastern flank; both are convenient to highways and to bus and train depots; both include much agricultural acreage with a kind of "living in farmland" feeling; and both mix centuries-old structures with new Gardiner homes and businesses that were completed just yesterday. Homes in Gardiner range in price from the $100K's well up to several million.

The community of Gardiner is a serene mix of farms, orchards, and vineyards, taking advantage of the sunny side of the Shawangunks and the fertile lands along the Wallkill River, with outstanding river and mountain views. View Active Gardiner, NY Real Estate Listings.
 
In addition to the small working farms and well-regarded wineries, Gardiner is also recognized as an easy commute to nearby small cities like Newburgh or Poughkeepsie, and even New York City 75 miles to the south didn't seem too far to travel for urban families in search of the good country life.
 
As a result, there was a brief flourishing of subdivision construction offering large and lavish family homes, more so than there was to the west on "the other side of the (Shawangunk) mountains," where distances tend to be longer and commutes more involved.
 
Still, properties in and around Gardiner are overwhelmingly forested or rural. The most dependable source of suburban real estate lies around the main drive through central Gardiner, where a range of midwestern American home styles are on display, with characteristically large front decks, lap or brick facades, and various traditional details like dormer windows, exteriors shutters, and cozy loft spaces.
 
Unlike New Paltz just across its northeast border, Gardiner's population of not much over 5,000 isn't doubled by an influx of students. The result is a more relaxed, small-town feeling, far less traffic – and a longer drive back to New Paltz for the shopping, restaurants, and culture that inevitably accompany a state university, especially the "hottest small state school in the country".
