What it’s like
The place. Woodbourne is a very small community in Sullivan County, in the Catskills region of New York. Winters here are cold, with highs hovering around freezing in January, and a good deal of snow falls each year. Summers are warm without being hot, and rain and melted snow add up to a fair amount through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, with shops and professional and business services also employing local people. Across Sullivan County, some of the largest workplaces are The Center for Discovery, Monticello Central School District and Garnet Health Medical Center. The county's unemployment rate has held steady over the past year, and the number of jobs has grown slightly.
Things to do. Neversink Reservoir and Rondout Reservoir are both a short drive away, as is Silver Lake, so water and quiet shoreline are close at hand. The Rivoli Theatre is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, Catskill Park is a protected area of mountains and woods a longer drive from town.
