A City of Memorable Mountains 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I love it here; the landscaping is always colorful and well-kept. It is a very small town and the neighbors are friendly, but cautious on who moves in our out of the town. Transportation is available; the usual commute is twenty-six minutes, which is an added benefit. Recent job ...Read More growth has increased and is stable, but could be better. The median income in Kingston is $62,000.

There is a recreational area up north that offer a ton of skiing and water sport activities. For such a small town you will find many useful amenities just a few blocks away. I absolutely love the many local museums surrounding the area. There is an array of fast food restaurants, fitness gyms, amusement parks and state parks.

I do wish summers here were warmer; they are cooler due to consistent rain and thunderstorms. The fall weather brings about a calm comfortable feel. Winters are not bad at all, except there are times where we experience blizzards. Read Less
