"A nice community with lots to offer. A small city combined with lots of nature!"

I dont live in the heart of beacon but I live within the school district and I am always in beacon. For the most part, everyone who critiques beacon, doesnt live in beacon and doesnt understand the real experience. Now I attend Beacon High school and I honestly LOVE IT. Its a small enough school where everyone knows everyone, even though we aree not all close to each other. I personally like the teachers and feel they are misunderstood by other teachers because they work in Beacon. Beacon has a lot to offer and if you want the beacon experience without the Beacon cost of living, live in a suburb like I do: (example: parts of Fishkill and Wappingers) Youre literally within a couple minutes drive. Beacon has changed dramatically within the last 10-15 years and I am very excited to see what beacon has to offer in another 10. The only thing I dislike is the city people moving into beacon. They move up here for a city life that isnt in NYC. Beacon is not the new Brooklyn and is not intended to be. Within a couple years if this continues, all the Beaconites will have to leave and a new NYC will soon take over.
Pros
  • Gorgeous Parks
  • Great historic shopping district
  • Terrific Restaurants
  • Galleries and museums
  • Riverfront parks
Cons
  • Some neighborhoods are still run down
  • City people moving in and driving locals out
