Ok, let’s cut to the chase. If you don’t want to have a 3 unit nuclear power plant in your backyard, stop reading now. Oh, it doesn’t bother you? That’s ok, if anything happens with Indian Point, we’ll all be dead anyway.

Peekskill is one of those Westchester neighborhoods that crazy real estate prices forgot. I’m pretty certain it’s because of Indian Point. It’s a luke warm place on the verge of happening, but whether or not it will actually take off is anyone’s guess. It’s current state is good enough for me. A couple of hip coffee houses, some art galleries, a bit of life.

PROS

• Peekskill sits right on the Hudson.
• About an hour to Grand Central on Metro North.
• Nice old home inventory to choose from.
• The home prices are a bargain.
• Artists are discovering it, creating a vibrant community.

CONS

• Indian Point
