My husband and I are moving from Park Slope, Brooklyn to the Hudson Valley. We need to be within 45 minutes of Red Hook.
We are considering Rhinebeck and Red Hook, which seem quite pricey for the area (and we're used to city prices!).
We also looked at Hudson and liked it a lot. Is there a lot of crime downtown and is it a place people feel safe living in? We'd likely live on a nice block but want to be able to walk around and feel safe.
