Kingston, New York, has a mix of suburban features like large houses, big shopping centers, and well-regarded public schools—and rural perks like hiking and boating, thanks to its location in Hudson Valley.

It’s a good time to buy a house here if you’re thinking of leaving the city: The current median sales price is $265,000, according to Realtor.com. In downtown Kingston, you can find historic homes within walking distance of stores and restaurants. There are also more suburban-like areas where you can find houses with big backyards and garages. If you’re looking to be closer to nature, you can find houses and cabins surrounded by woods on the outskirts of Kingston. 

The area has a mix of locally-owned shops and restaurants like Deising’s Bakery and Savona’s, and big-box chains like Texas Roadhouse, Target, and Walmart. Hudson Valley Mall has stores like Best Buy and Dick’s Sporting Goods. For things to do outdoors, there are many parks like Lawton Park and Block Park, hiking trails, and marinas. The public school system checks out with a B rating from Niche.

So if you want to be closer to nature, check out these five houses for sale under $500,000 in Kingston, including an 1870 cottage and a renovated Victorian with a pool.
