Living in Pine Bush


Morning starts often involve a quick espresso at Cup & Saucer Diner before hitting the road - commuters find NY-17 and I-84 surprisingly close for such rural scenery. Weekend energy shifts to trailheads along the Shawangunk Mountains, where day-hikers trade city shoes for dusty boots and sunset selfies.

Back in the hamlet, Friday nights circle around Crawford Town Park ballfields or the UFO-themed block party that locals shrug off with a laugh - because where else can you picnic under alien décor? Those quirky touches keep short-term rentals booked, nudging property values higher each season.

Homeowners see extra upside in walkable pockets near Main Street shops; demand from tele-commuters chasing acreage plus fiber internet pushes both sale prices and long-term rental rates. Thinking of an ADU for added income? Zoning is friendly on the Ulster side - just ask before pouring the slab.

Pine Bush Real Estate: Buyer FAQs


What should I know about property taxes in Pine Bush?

Rates depend on the county line—cross $479K Main-Street listing and you might pay Orange County’s 2.58 %, while a mile north Ulster clocks in closer to 2.47 %. Always confirm the parcel’s county before you budget. Your agent can pull last year’s bill so there are no surprises at closing.


What types of homes are common in the area?

Expect classic farmhouses on multi-acre lots west of Bonnerville Road, 1970s ranches near the hamlet, and newer colonials edging NY-302. Many properties include outbuildings or room for gardens—perfect if you’ve dreamed of chickens or a workshop. Condos are rare, so detached living rules the scene.
