Review of Poughkeepsie, New York


Hard to find housing
Star Rating - 8/23/2010
Whether its a first time buyer or otherwise (I'm a first time homebuyer) its hard to find homes in this dutchess county. Besides the average costs being high, the jobs in the area don't support this costs. Plus if you do find a house around $150,000. you can't get much in good condition. Then the condos and town houses want a fortune for their small places also. Its very hard for middle and lower class families to live here and i beleive that is why the crime rate is so high.
