City amenities, small-town kindness
New Rochelle is a city about 16 miles north of upper Manhattan. Affectionately called New Roc City by locals, it’s the seventh-largest city in the state and the second-largest in Westchester County – and thanks to its housing boom, it’s still growing. According to Lohud.com, a website by The Journal News in the lower Hudson Valley, the population of New Rochelle may increase by 8,000 residents over the next few years. For anyone unfamiliar with downstate New York, Westchester is one of the most desirable counties for homebuyers ready to leave NYC behind and get more space for their money. "The community has so much to offer in every respect, be it beach clubs, marinas, parks, restaurants and colleges,” says Gay Rosen, a licensed real estate broker with Julie B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty who has lived in the community for more than four decades. It also offers so much more than just convenience, Rosen says – it offers a true community. "We might be a city, but we live like it’s a village. Residents are friendly to each other and everyone says hello."
Affectionately called New Roc City by locals, the city is known for its small-town atmosphere.

Dinner, live music at Alvin & Friends
New Roc City has art galleries, theater companies, and abundant restaurants. When asked which eatery is her favorite, Rosen couldn't pick just one. Alvin & Friends on Memorial Highway serves Southern Caribbean cuisine, hosts live music and displays and sells original artwork. The menu at Dubrovnik on Main Street specializes in seafood and Croatian-inspired home cooking. When they want to enjoy their own home cooking, residents often pick up groceries at Stop & Shop.
Main Street offers many local shops and eateries.

Some homes even have views of the harbor, while others sport castle-like turrets. Single-family homes range from about $1 million to $2 million. Mansions, estates and houses with harbor views can list for $3 million to $5 million. Condos and co-ops cost anywhere from $130,000 to $500,000.

Lincoln Park's jungle gym and pool
Parks, playgrounds and green spaces are scattered throughout Downtown New Rochelle, ensuring that residents are always close to somewhere they can enjoy the outdoors. Lincoln Park’s colorfully painted basketball court, baseball field and playground, complete with a jungle gym where children can climb out all that extra energy, make it a focal point of the neighborhood. During the summer, residents flock to the 4-acre park to keep cool and have fun at its community pool and splash pad. For a calmer afternoon, Ruby Dee Park at Library Green offers quiet, tree-shaded benches and sun-drenched grass perfect for sitting down to read a book. Venturing beyond downtown provides access to a wide range of huge parks, including the historic 105-acre Glen Island Park, which is connected to the mainland by a drawbridge, and the 20-acre Davenport Park where local children love to sled on snowy days. "New Rochelle has always been known as Queen of the Long Island Sound for its wonderful shoreline," Rosen says. "We have beautiful parks that are truly special."
Lincoln Park's brightly painted basketball courts draw locals looking to test their skills.
The Library Green offers interesting views and calm spots to read when the weather's nice.

Magnet schools in Downtown New Rochelle
Niche gives the New Rochelle School District an A-minus. "The district has six elementary schools," Rosen says. "Three are magnet schools, which means that a child can attend the school of their choice." The only enrollment limitations are the district's lottery system and availability based on class size. Students can attend Daniel Webster Elementary School, which has an A rating, Isaac E. Young Middle School, which has an A-minus, and New Rochelle High School. The high school earns a B-plus and offers its students extracurricular activities like photography, robotics and mock trial clubs.
