Quiet living without losing access to NYC
The North White Plains neighborhood in West Harrison, about 35 miles north of New York City, is often where people go to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and embrace the calm of the outdoors. “It’s a quieter, suburban environment with plenty of job opportunities in town, but commuters also have an easy 45-minute ride into Grand Central Station on the express train, which is why they call this area a mini New York City,” says Valerio Santucci, a Realtor at Link NY Realty with experience in the greater Westchester region. North White Plains provides lake and hiking adventures in a private, community-minded suburb, making it a sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts. And in the same breath, there’s big city access via train or interstate, making this West Harrison neighborhood a commuter haven.
North White Plains combines small-town charm with urban convenience, offering local dining, shopping, and quick access to major highways.
