Malden-on-Hudson, NY

Tucked along the west bank of the Hudson River just a few minutes north of downtown Saugerties, Malden-on-Hudson is a quiet, close-knit riverside neighborhood. With the water stretching out to the east and the Catskill foothills rising behind it, the setting feels scenic and tucked away. Malden Park sits right on the shoreline, giving locals easy access to drop in kayaks, launch fishing boats, or watch sailboats drift by from the Malden Yacht Club. Home to only a few hundred residents, it has the peaceful, unhurried pace of a small country hamlet.

Back in the nineteenth century, Malden was a bustling shipping hub where docks and warehouses loaded Catskill bluestone, timber, and river ice onto boats bound for New York City. Today, that industrial bustle has given way to quiet, tree-lined residential streets with charming historic homes and private riverfront properties. For anyone looking to relocate, it combines direct water access and classic Hudson Valley scenery with the convenience of being a five-minute drive from the restaurants, bakeries, and boutiques in the Village of Saugerties.
