What it’s like
The place. Pine Bush is a small community in Ulster County, and few places in the county are smaller. Homes here are valued above what is typical for the county's own incomes, and winters are cold while summers turn warm. Across a year the town gets a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in professional and business services, shops, and restaurants and hotels. A few people work from home, and the typical commute is a moderate drive. Across Ulster County, the largest workplaces include the State University of New York at New Paltz, the Kingston City School District and the Wallkill Central School District.
Things to do. The Shawangunk Kill and Tin Brook are both rivers a short drive away, and the Verkeerder Kill runs in or beside town. Sam's Point Preserve is a protected area a short drive away, good for time outdoors. Farther afield, Storm King Art Center is a museum a longer drive away.
