About Dexter
Dexter is a very small village located in the state of New York. With a population of 1,068 people and just one neighborhood, Dexter is the 720th largest community in New York. Much of the housing stock in Dexter was built prior to World War II, making it one of the older and more historic villages in the country.
Unlike some villages, Dexter isn’t mainly white- or blue-collar. Instead, the most prevalent occupations for people in Dexter are a mix of both white- and blue-collar jobs. Overall, Dexter is a village of sales and office workers, professionals and service providers. There are especially a lot of people living in Dexter who work in sales jobs (15.14%), office and administrative support (13.75%) and teaching (6.31%).
There are quite a few people in the armed forces living in Dexter, and when you visit or drive around town, you will see military people in and out of uniform, shopping, enjoying life, and being part of the community.
In addition, Dexter is home to many people who could be described as "urban sophisticates", which are people who are not only wealthy and employed in professional occupations, but highly educated to boot. Urban sophisticates have urbane tastes - whether they reside in a big or small city, a suburb, or a little town. Urban sophisticates support bookstores, quality clothing stores, enjoy luxury travel, and in big cities, they are truly the patrons of the arts, attending and supporting institutions such as opera, symphony, ballet, and theatre.
Because of many things, Dexter is a very good place for families to consider. With an enviable combination of good schools, low crime, college-educated neighbors who tend to support education because of their own experiences, and a high rate of home ownership in predominantly single-family properties, Dexter really has some of the features that families look for when choosing a good community to raise children. Is Dexter perfect? Of course not, and if you like frenetic nightlife, it will be far from your cup of tea. But overall this is a solid community, with many things to recommend it as a family-friendly place to live.
It is a fairly quiet village because there are relatively few of those groups of people who have a tendency to be noisy. (Children, for example, often can't help themselves from being noisy, and being parents ourselves, we know!) Dexter has relatively few families with children living at home, and is quieter because of it. Renters and college students, for their own reasons, can also be noisy. Dexter has few renters and college students. But the biggest reason it is quieter in Dexter than in most places in America, is that there are just simply fewer people living here. If you think trees make good neighbors, Dexter may be for you.
Being a small village, Dexter does not have a public transit system used by locals to get to and from work.
