Nature-rich Montebello has recreation and revival-style homes
Montebello is a suburban oasis within the gridded streets of Ramapo, New York and bordered by the open greenery of Harriman State Park. “It has a very country feel, it has such a pretty look about it,” says Naomi Streicher, an associate broker with Q Homes Sales, who has been working in Rockland County for 37 years. “There’s a fox that runs across Robin Hood Road every time I drive by it. You go to the next town over, and it's like a city feel. There are vintage colonials here, too and large properties.” Montebello has green spaces with multiple parks, ponds and other recreational areas. The village is 40 miles from New York City and 35 miles from Newark, New Jersey. Shopping and dining are 2 miles away in Suffern. “Most of the time, people move here because they're looking for a peaceful and quiet place away from the city,” says Tirtza Beer, an associate broker with Q Home Sales. Beer has been working in the industry for 17 years.

Homes in revival and modern styles near greenery
Most houses are close to a park or pond and sit on large lots with space for an in-ground pool. “Certain parts back up to Harriman State Park,” says Streicher. “I recently sold a log house, and it was right near the park. They wanted it because they wanted to be able to go hiking.” Most homes are in the Colonial Revival style, with newer homes in the New Traditional style. There are some split-level and high ranch-style houses, the occasional Tudor Revival, and more unique, custom builds. Houses range in price from $700,000 to $975,000, while larger homes range from $1.1 million to $2.2 million. Townhouses and condos range from $460,000 to $610,000. “The taxes here are very high, Suffern schools' tax is high,” says Streicher. “But it’s a nice area. You drive around, and it’s pretty.”

Environmental concerns in Montebello
“I sold a few houses with the Mahwah River at their back,” says Streicher. “Some places are in flood zones, but most aren’t.” Homes close to the Mahwah River may be at risk of flooding during inclement weather. The village of Montebello is in the process of updating its comprehensive plan to include flooding prevention for homes in these areas.
