Review of Glens Falls, New York


Quiet little spot close to everything.
Star Rating - 11/28/2007
If you enjoy being able to go for a walk late on a warm summer night, or have the kids sliding down hill 10 minutes out of the door, we've got a secret we'd like to share with you.

Our little city is nestled in the midst of some of the most beautiful scenery in the world yet has access to some of the greatest cultural influences in the country. You can go hiking in a six million acre forest preserve during the day and experience world class music or art in the evening.

Crime is a non issue. Education is excellent and the cost of living is reasonable. This is a good place to raise a family.

Cold weather means skiing, snowsports, and an excuse to take a day off from work to build a snowman with the kids. The summers are perfect for camping, boating and living outdoors.

If you are a type A personality, maybe you should stick with traffic jams and a 60 hour work week. Here we enjoy the scenery and don't really worry about what the clock says.

Come say Hello. We will smile and say Hello back.
