WESTCHESTER WORKS QUALITY OF LIFE
SUBURBAN APPEAL
Just minutes north of Manhattan, Westchester offers a balanced lifestyle. Natural beauty also abounds. Bordered by the majestic Hudson River to the west and the picturesque Long Island Sound to the east, we enjoy beautiful parks, rolling meadows, beaches, working farms and lush, forested areas.
White Plains is a 35-minute train ride to Grand Central, Yonkers and New Rochelle are 30 minutes, Park Slope is 42 mins. Why go to Park Slope when you can come to Westchester, where we have twice the space at half the cost?
NOT YOUR FATHER’S SUBURBIA
Yoga studios, farm-to-table restaurants, chic bakeries. If you’re looking for a Brooklyn vibe at a more affordable price, look no further than West- chester County.
As New York City becomes less affordable, creative professionals have been settling here and bringing with them a vibrant new cultural scene.
River towns like Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Irvington and Tarrytown feature trendy cof- fee shops, tea rooms and boutiques, as well as acclaimed restaurants, such as RiverMarket on the banks of The Hudson River in Tarrytown and X2O on the revitalized Yonkers waterfront.
Museums, like the Hudson River Museum in Yonkers, the Neuberger Museum at SUNY Pur- chase and The Katonah Museum of Art, as well as niche art galleries such as Arts Westchester’s ArtsExchange, The Rye Arts Center and The Clay Arts Center in Port Chester, offer wide-ranging exhibits without having to go to Manhattan.
