Why Buy a Bungalow when you can own the Whole Colony?
Kandy Harris | August 4, 2015Talk about timely. Our friend and Upstater co-founder Lisa Selin Davis recently wrote a piece for Realtor.com on choosing bungalow colony living in the Catskills during the summer over expensive stand-alone rentals or lakeside communities. For less than the price of one month’s rent around the five boroughs, you could get your hands on your own seasonal bungalow cabin. The downside? There are a few, which Lisa outlines in the article.
