If you do not have children of school-age you'll likely qualify for  
the STAR exemption on your property taxes.  Yes, NY property taxes  
are high, so every little bit help.  Be aware that your town may be  
'sneaky' in the application dates, etc. each year, hoping people miss  
them and miss on the exemption even though they qualify.

Also, Ithaca is something of a 'center' for upstate NY in  
permaculture and natural building.
