Altamont Reviews
Rating 4.8 out of 5 5 reviews
Altamont is a small community that rests at the foot of the Helderberg mountains. The small country town is home to roughly 2,000 people and offers small pleasures like a small restaurant dedicated to war veterans and filled with memorabilia of the wars as well. We also offer a small local wine shop, two bistros and an antique shop, all located in the walking distance of Main St. Altamont even hold an annual fair that offers food, rides animal attractions, local businesses and plenty of other exhibits. Altamont is a small gem in Albany county and a pleasure to live in.
A quiet suburb of Albany in upstate New York, Altamont is a vestige of small town America. The Altamont Fair takes place yearly and is well known throughout the Capital Region of New York. Just west of Altamont is Thatcher State Park which is located upon the Helderberg escarpment. Thatcher state park overlooks the Hudson Valley below all the way from Altamont to the Empire State Plaza eleven miles to the East where the most prominent structure of the plaza know as Corning Tower stands at 589 feet and stands a visual land mark for the west border of the Hudson river in Albany.
Altamont, NY is a quaint, small town that is great for families or couples alike. From the small businesses to the Altamont Fair in August every year, there is a handful of activities to enjoy. With a short drive to Albany, Schenectady, or (slightly farther) Troy, there's the option to go to somewhere with more to offer, but be able to come back to a quiet home.
