What it’s like
The place. Stone Ridge is a small community in Ulster County, with a population small enough that most residents are likely to know one another by sight. Household incomes run well above the county's, and homes here are valued at a good deal more than many people expect for the Hudson Valley. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm without being extreme, with plenty of rain and melted snow across the year.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by 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 on Marys Avenue. Unemployment in the county is slightly higher than a year ago, while the county has added jobs over the past year.
Things to do. Ashokan Reservoir and Lake Mohonk are both a short drive away, offering open water and walking country close to home. The Rosendale Theatre, also a short drive away, is a local theatre for films and performances. For a longer outing, Dia Beacon is a museum of contemporary art, and the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site is a longer drive away.
