Westchester County, New York
Westchester County lies just north of New York City. It’s where city slickers go when they want trees and actual yards. The Hudson River forms its western border. Nature lovers can hit up countless parks and preserves.
Fancy mansions and horse farms sit alongside historic sites from the Revolutionary War. You’ve got everything from ritzy suburbs to charming river towns.
It’s a commuter’s paradise, with trains zipping into Manhattan in under an hour. The food scene is no joke with high-end restaurants and cozy diners. It’s not cheap to live here, but many think it’s worth it.
