The Woodstock-specific ZIP code's average home value ran $655,632 (flat YoY) -- genuinely above New York's own statewide average ($527,312) -- while a separately cited, broader 'Kingston Metro (Woodstock)' regional figure ran considerably lower at $357,473 (up 24.6% YoY), a real, disclosed spread this record does not resolve to one figure.
Elevated rents, running above the national average
Woodstock's average apartment rent ran approximately $2,072-$2,175 depending on the month cited, 8%-12% above the national average per Zumper.
New York's state income tax applies, but no local add-on
New York's real, graduated 2026 state income tax runs 3.9% to 10.9%, but Woodstock itself levies NO separate local income tax.
A moderate property tax rate, below the New York statewide median
Woodstock's effective property tax rate ran 1.60% -- above the national median but below the New York statewide median under either cited figure (1.90% or 2.39%).
