Laurens, NY

Set along Otego Creek just outside Oneonta, Laurens offers a relaxed, rural pace of life in the scenic hills of Otsego County. It is an easygoing village with a close community feel, where neighbors run into each other at the local library, the school, or summer concerts in Knapp Park. Outdoor lovers have Gilbert Lake State Park right down the road for hiking, swimming, fishing, and camping. You get the quiet privacy of upstate country living with the added convenience of being only a short drive from jobs, shopping, and dining in town.
