Beacon Named Third Best Place to Buy a Home in New York
If you wanted to know why houses in Beacon, New York have been selling for incredibly high prices recently there's a good chance this might be why.

Here is the TikTok video that received almost 1 million likes.

I am certainly not going to bash Beacon, New York. The city has been great to me but I have to say I am a little surprised that it ranked this high among other cities and towns in New York State.
Beacon is one of the best places to buy a house in New York State.
Rocket Homes claims Beacon is the 3rd best place to a home in New York for a few reasons. They made their ranking based on population, median household income, median household price, and commute time to New York City.
