Plattsburgh, NY

Plattsburgh’s location in the Champlain Valley is protected by the rain shadow of the Adirondack Mountains. Year-round this region enjoys consistently better weather than other parts of the state.

This city of 20,000 offers shopping, restaurants, golf courses and many other services, but the supermarket is beyond walking distance so you will need to take a bus or taxi to get there. (There is a natural foods co-op grocery store downtown.) An Amtrack train station is also close by.
