An Adirondack town made for outdoor activities and families
On the eastern edge of the Adirondacks, surrounding the city of Glens Falls on three sides and stretching north to Lake George, Queensbury has a geography made for outdoor adventure. From hiking, swimming and fishing to skiing and snowshoeing, it’s a haven for homebuyers looking to escape city life. “We’re only three hours from New York City and Boston,” says Realtor Angela Cugini-Girard with EXP Realty. A Boston transplant over 30 years ago, Cugini-Girard knows how much more affordable Queensbury can be. Once a vacation spot filed with second homes, Queensbury saw an influx of primary homebuyers during the pandemic, when working remotely became more widely accepted. “Today, 40% are vacation homebuyers, and 60% are year-round,” she says. Queensbury is also where kids can ride their bikes on the street and walk to a neighbor’s house. “There’s a hometown community here that people love,” says Barbara Kenison, an associate broker with Coldwell Banker Prime Properties who has lived in the area for 40 years. “It’s a great place to raise children.”
Queensbury residents go to Glen Lake for outdoor fun during the season.

Bikers, boaters, golfers and thrill-seekers welcome
The Gurney Lane Recreation Area, just north of Glens Falls, is one of Queensbury's most popular spots for sports and fun. The park has an outdoor swimming pool, and its newly expanded mountain bike park features over 13 miles of trails. Ridge/Jenkinsville Park to the east contains a playground, a basketball court, tennis courts that double as pickleball courts, a softball complex and soccer fields. Between the parks, Glen Lake allows canoeing, kayaking and fishing, and on Route 9 nearby, Six Flags Great Escape and Hurricane Harbor offer family-favorite rides, rollercoasters and a waterpark. A few miles north, Lake George Expedition Park is another amusement park, where kids can meet dinosaurs, explore a magical forest and soar on carnival rides. For boaters, the Harris Bay Yacht Club and Castaway Marina are only two of several facilities along Lake George on the northern edge of Queensbury. Also close to Lake George, Top of the World Golf Resort offers an 18-hole course, a fine-dining restaurant and views of the lake. To the south, the Hiland Park Country Club is a public course with mountain vistas. Hudson Pointe Nature Preserve on the southwestern side of Queensbury has walking, hiking and mountain bike trails also used for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Nearby West Mountain also offers year-round activities, such as ziplining and downhill skiing.

A range of price points and properties in Queensbury
Homes in Queensbury represent many architectural styles, including historic farmhouses, suburban ranch-style homes, rustic log cabins, stately colonials and multimillion-dollar lakefront properties. “You can get into a house for $200,000 to $1 million; there’s such a range of price points,” Gugini-Girard says. Traditional ranch-style houses and raised-ranch homes often have their original hardwood floors and sell for $200,000 to $400,000. Contemporary ranches built after 1990 and colonial-style homes with larger floor plans are priced higher, between $400,000 and $675,000. Homes with plenty of acreage or custom houses on Lake George and Glen Lake start at around $700,000 and can list as high as $3 million. The area also has its share of distinctive residences, such as historic farmhouses, barns ready to be converted into living spaces, log-cabin homes and an 1867 church transformed into a residence — truly a one-of-a-kind home. Queensbury, Glens Falls and Lake George are home to over a dozen active churches and three synagogues.
