FRIEDMAN REALTY WELCOMES YOU TO THE ADIRONDACKS

One of the greatest allures of the Adirondacks, besides its magnificent beauty, is the community spirit and quality of life of the small towns and villages that are sprinkled throughout the region. In 2006 the Town of Schroon was one of three communities in the State that was awarded the Governor’s Quality Community Designation.   One of the upsides of purchasing a home or vacation property in the Adirondacks is that you have the opportunity to become an integral part of the community by volunteering for a myriad of community functions and activities. 

If you are reading this column it is safe to presume that you have already discovered the Adirondacks – where a 6 million acre park is shared by small rural communities and wilderness.  You will find magnificent natural settings, countless recreational opportunities, varied cultural events and peace of mind.  Recently in speaking with a young couple on vacation in the Schroon Lake area they exclaimed “what a great place – we played tennis in the morning, had a delicious lunch, went for a paddle on the lake, then played 9 holes of golf, enjoyed a great dinner and went to a show in the evening.  It just doesn’t get any better!”

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again:  the Adirondacks are a wonderful place to live and play.  We love it here!

Since 1949 Friedman Realty is proud to be an active leader in Adirondack Real Estate and the communities we live in.   Over the years we have welcomed thousands of buyers to the Adirondack Region.  Time after time we have seen how the magic of the Adirondacks has transformed a vacationer to a second home owner and then to a year round resident. 

Our professional team of Realtors is ready to assist you in finding your Adirondack dream.    Moreover our experienced staff will provide personal and friendly service, a trademark of Friedman Realty.

We look forward to meeting you!

Places like Flanagan's occupy a special place in small communities. It is primarily a social gathering spot – part tavern, part lunch counter, with “family” dining room out front. It is the “Cheers” of Schroon Lake, where everybody knows your name. Every year something gets added or upgraded. New bar stools last winter. A new moose head and lighting the year before. Some new booths for the dining room. New high-tops for the Friday night pre-movie pizza and chicken wing crowd. Like many establishments that were primarily taverns twenty years ago, Flanagan's now serves more food than liquor. They have to because the tavern business is history. The dining room now caters to families and vacationers looking for a reasonably priced meal in a casual atmosphere – a cup of homemade soup, fried chicken or fish, calamari, hamburgers and sandwiches, and surprisingly good pizza!

Flanagan's also serves as the unofficial club house for the snowmobile crowd in winter, and the boating crowd in the summer. Snowmobiles can access the pub from the lake most years after the ice sets in January. In summer the boating crowd has a block to walk from the town docks to get to a cold beer. Flanagan's used to be primarily a beer only crowd, but over the years, other beverage options have been added. Stop in and give a cheery "hello!" to the friendly staff. And be sure to try their famous wings!
