Buying a Home in Chester, NY: Convenience Meets Country Charm

By Ammar Iqbal | Real Estate Salesperson, eXp Realty

Chester is one of Orange County's best-kept secrets. It sits right in the middle of everything, yet still has open space, farmland and a relaxed pace of life.

A location that works

Chester is right on Route 17 and Route 94, making it easy to reach Middletown, Goshen, Monroe, Warwick and Washingtonville. It's also a manageable drive to the Thruway and to northern New Jersey, which is a big plus for commuters.

Sugar Loaf and local character

The Town of Chester includes the hamlet of Sugar Loaf, a one-of-a-kind arts and crafts village with galleries, shops and seasonal events. It's a great spot for a weekend stroll and a big part of what makes Chester unique.

Outdoors and recreation

The Orange County Heritage Trail runs through Chester, perfect for walking, running and biking. Local parks, farms and farm stands add to the country feel, while shopping and services are still close by.

Homes in Chester

Chester offers a nice range of options: townhouses and condos, newer single-family subdivisions, older homes in the village and properties with land in the surrounding town. That variety makes it a good fit for first-time buyers and growing families alike. Browse Chester homes for sale to see what's available.
