LIVING HERE
WHO WE ARE
A richly diverse community, Westchester residents enjoy high median income levels, and lower unemployment rates compared with national averages. Biotechnology is one of Westchester County’s strongest growth sectors, with over 8,000 employees.
REGENERON IN WESTCHESTER
Regeneron employs a large portion of that work force – more than 2,000 employees – from its Westchester corporate headquarters and state-of the-art laboratory facilities.
Regeneron has experienced tremendous growth and continues to expand as they work to deliver lifesaving medicines to patients in need. The company currently occupies nearly 1.5 million square feet of space in Westchester County.
NEW YORK’S INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL
With 47% of our residents holding a bachelor’s degree or higher, Westchester is the most highly-educated county in the United States.
Westchester’s 43 school districts boast low teacher-to-student ratios, high-quality supplemental and after-school programming,
and wide range of services for students with special needs.
We offer top-ranked schools and our high school graduation rates
far exceed national averages.
In terms of higher education, the county is home to 15 colleges
and universities – both public and private – that offer a variety of two and four-year programs.
TOP-NOTCH HEALTHCARE
Less than an hour away from most parts of the county, New York City offers some of the best hospital systems and healthcare
in the country. Now, thanks to the expanding reach of world- renowned healthcare organizations such as Montefiore,
New York-Presbyterian, Memorial Sloan Kettering and ColumbiaDoctors, residents of Westchester enjoy world-class healthcare even closer to home.
PROXIMITY AND ACCESSIBILITY
Residents can easily move throughout the county and beyond via multiple, interconnected roadways, 43 train stations, three rail lines, and a leading regional airport. A train ride to Manhattan from most parts of Westchester lasts roughly
30 minutes on average.
In addition, the Tappan Zee Bridge, which spans the Hudson
River and connects Tarrytown to Nyack in Rockland County, is being replaced by a state-of-the-art span slated for completion in 2018.
