Millbrook

A small, picturesque village with history and charm.

Welcome to Millbrook

 

Millbrook, New York, is located in Dutchess County in the Hudson Valley and is surrounded by a handful of other small, charming towns and cities. There is a distinct community feel here, and the promise of relaxed, easy living. Most neighbors know each other, and that offers a comfortable sense of belonging that many new residents find appealing. Millbrook is home to lovely outdoor spaces and gardens, historic architecture, and the convenience of living near the Wassaic train station, which provides easy access to large metro areas. 

 

Millbrook’s rolling countrysides provide a beautiful backdrop for its quiet and affluent residential communities, where top-dollar residences in a variety of architectural styles are nestled atop spacious lots and tree-lined streets. Millbrook’s real estate is thriving, as are its outdoor recreational amenities, which are found a stone’s throw away from most homes. Numerous parks and trails provide equestrians, hikers, and bicyclists the opportunity to indulge in the area’s abundant natural resources. This makes it ideal for those who are looking for a second home or a place to retire, work remotely, or just get away from it all. Known as a low-key version of The Hamptons, Millbrook is the ideal location for those looking for an upscale retreat from big-city living.
