Our Take

Queensbury has a suburban feel, decent median home prices, and is relatively close to Albany with a short commute. However, keep in mind that commute times to Manhattan are around 4 hours, so consider your commute needs before settling. With moderate walkability and decent green space, this area is suitable for families and those who value quiet neighborhoods.
