The 11 Most Exciting New Restaurants in Upstate New York for Summer Trips
Upstate New York—the loosely defined region north of Manhattan and the Bronx boasting no shortage of lush countryside and weathered red bars, but not so much Hamptons-style traffic—is hot.
Last year, home prices in one of its major regions, the Hudson Valley, which runs along the Hudson River from Westchester to Albany, hit all-time highs, following an influx of New York City residents who left during the pandemic and continue to take advantage of remote work allowances.

Renowned builder's coastal design breathes inspiration into family home plans
For more than 120 years Plunkett Homes has been building dwellings to perfectly suit the current lifestyle and adapt to how people will live in the future. This expertise includes delivering wonderful first homes to shape your early steps on the property ladder. None deliver a comfortable and flexible first living space more so than the builder's Hamptons-inspired display home – the Boardwalk. Exuding beachside vibes, it features a jetty-style front porch leading to a facade with weatherboard cladding and limestone features – reminiscent of a seaside holiday residence. Crafted to accommodate different price points, homebuilders can opt for the three different specifications. 'The Display specification allows you to build the home as you see it in Eglinton while the Luxe version incorporates the same layout as the display with a modified inclusions list,' Plunkett Homes Sales Manager Aaron Bennett said. 'The Lifestyle version is modified by size and features to suit clients' budgets.' Mr Bennett said the polished abode was a great fit for first homebuyers, particularly young families and couples. 'The well-planned layout makes it cost-effective for a first homebuyer, with the option of three different price points depending on the client's budget,' he said. 'The home suits traditional blocks you would find in most estates across the Perth metropolitan area.' Inside is awash with trendy touches and contemporary elements, including an extra-wide entrance hallway, high ceilings and feature bulkheads. 'The functional layout is perfectly suited to relaxed family living,' Mr Bennett said. 'There's a separate bedroom wing for the children, while the master suite with an enormous walk-in robe and an ensuite is to the front of the home in its own private sanctuary. 'There are two entertaining areas, so parents and kids can unwind separately. 'At the rear, the large open-plan living area opens directly to the alfresco, doubling the entertaining space and creating a breezy coastal feel.' The layout overflows with even more lifestyle additions such as a media room, a drop zone, a scullery and a walk-in pantry in the kitchen, along with the all-important dog shower in the laundry. All the while, timeless Hamptons charm is thoughtfully integrated throughout to create an oceanside dream. 'The many Hamptons-inspired features and finishes include detailed cornices, colonial skirting boards, shaker-style cabinetry, and internal and external feature cladding,' Mr Bennett said, adding that not only does the porch design evoke a jetty but the alfresco does as well. Over the course of its storied history, Plunkett Homes' beautiful builds have had a hand in shaping suburbs – from Yanchep to Baldivis and everywhere in between. Its vast range of products, which comprise country abodes, Hamptons-style designs, double-storey properties and more, have established a place to call home for thousands of buyers. For first homebuyers beginning their journey, the experienced Plunkett Homes team will work closely with you to ensure you get what you deserve. To experience the Boardwalk for yourself, visit the display home at 41 Lorikeet Approach, Eglinton on Wednesday from 2-5pm or Saturday and Sunday from 12-5pm. For more than 120 years, Plunkett Homes has been providing Western Australians a place to call home, with designs to suit every family's lifestyle.
