What it’s like
The place. Marlboro is a small community in Ulster County, on the west side of the Hudson River. Household incomes here run well above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Homes and rents are priced on the high side, and the typical commute is a fairly long one. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm, with July the warmest. The year brings a good deal of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in professional and business services, shops, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Ulster County, the largest workplaces include the State University of New York at New Paltz, the Kingston City School District and Healthalliance Hospital Marys Ave. Unemployment in the county is about where it was a year ago, and the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Casperkill and Wappinger Creek run in or beside town, which makes the water easy to reach. A short drive away are Dia Beacon, a museum, and Downing Park. For a longer outing, the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum is a longer drive away, as is the United States Military Academy.
