What it’s like

The place. Summit is a small rural town in Schoharie County, with a population that makes it one of the quieter places in the area. Nearly all homes are lived in by their owners, and the share of people living below the poverty line is low. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month and highs staying near freezing, while summers are pleasantly warm, with July the warmest month. Precipitation is steady through the year, with plenty of snow in winter.

Work. Residents of Summit work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, with many others in shops, the building trades, and professional and business services. Commutes are on the longer side, and only a small share of people work from home. Across Schoharie County, the largest workplaces include the SUNY College of Agriculture and Technology at Cobleskill and the Cobleskill-Richmondville Central School District. Jobs across the county grew over the past year, though unemployment has edged up slightly.

Things to do. Close to home, Max V. Shaul State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Hudson Lake is a short drive off as well. Farther afield, Howe Caverns is a tourist attraction a longer drive away, and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is a museum, also a longer drive. Creeks and rivers such as House Creek and Oak Creek are nearby too, for those who like to spend time by the water.
