Real estate: Growing disparity in Amenia

Real estate:
Growing disparity in Amenia

Built in 1850, this three-bedroom, two-bath home on 4942 Route 22 is located in the center of Amenia and zoned for mixed use. Owned by the same family since 1875, it was formerly the home of the Jenkins Bakery. It sold Nov. 10, 2023, for $260,000.

The Millerton News will periodically publish a listing of residential real estate sales in eastern Dutchess County and adjacent towns.

November real estate sales in Amenia showed the extreme bifurcation of local housing prices compared to homes and land in the Silo Ridge Club. There were nine sales recorded in Amenia in November: three in Silo Ridge, which were all above $4 million; and six outside the club, all below $260,000.

These results show the important difference between average and median prices in evaluating a real estate market. The average price of an Amenia property in November was $2.26 million compared to the median, or midpoint, price of $250,000.

Unlike most towns, Amenia has an ample inventory of properties. Silo Ridge has condos starting at $2.9 million; building lots for $2.86 million; and estates for up to $15 million. Outside the club, in the town, there were nine single-family homes actively listed for sale ranging from $339,000 to $8 million; and 15 parcels of vacant land for $14,999 to $6.9 million.

State bill aims to curtail Flock cameras

State bill aims to curtail Flock cameras

As county-operated license plate readers are set to come down across northeast Dutchess County, a state senator has introduced legislation to put the first statewide limits on how the technology is used.

State Sen. Michelle Hinchey announced the bill last Tuesday, Sept. 22. It would regulate automatic license plate readers, or ALPRs, including those made by Flock Safety, the company behind the cameras that have been installed in Millerton, Amenia, Pine Plains and Milan.

Stanfordville local uses 3D printers to block Flock cameras

STANFORDVILLE — Jim Griffin was among dozens of Dutchess County residents who stood up in opposition to local law enforcement’s adoption of license plate reading cameras at a community forum in Pleasant Valley on Wednesday, Sept. 23.

But rather than simply voicing his disapproval of the technology, Griffin had something to offer to county residents in the room — a chance to take matters into their own hands. Griffin, using his collection of 3D printers and a penchant for hacking, which he said dates back to the early ‘90s, is manufacturing plastic covers that he said disables the cameras without damaging them.
