For a little over a decade, Spring Valley has been slowly changing. Revitalization efforts have updated parts of the community’s little downtown, while condos and townhouses have sprung up alongside businesses and synagogues. The village is split between two towns; most of it is in Ramapo, but its eastern side is in Clarkstown. Susan McMullen, a Realtor with eXp Realty, says Spring Valley offers a slower pace and an easy commute to bigger cities. “It’s not that hustle and bustle of New York City, but you can get to your job nice and quick,” she says. “And we have just a lot of community vibe here.” Community groups help along Spring Valley’s friendly vibe, often centering around local synagogues and condo buildings, says Yisroel Weiss, the team leader of Team W Realty and a lifelong Spring Valley local. “It’s a really, really friendly neighborhood. Everybody welcomes everybody,” Weiss says.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 25.8% of residents work in education, health care or social assistance. Monsey Health Center, which offers a wide range of medical services, is right in Spring Valley, while Good Samaritan Hospital is about 5 miles away. With so much revitalization, though, there are plenty of construction and retail jobs, too.
Spring Valley is located within the towns of Ramapo and Clarkstown in Rockland County, NY.

Single-family homes, a growing stock of condos and townhouses
Single-family homes, typically Cape Cods and hi-ranches, can still be found in Spring Valley, but condos and townhouses are becoming increasingly common. According to Weiss, it’s commonplace for single-family homes to be purchased and knocked down by builders looking to add more multi-family housing to Spring Valley. “Within 10 years, it’s not going to be single-family houses in this neighborhood, because everything is being knocked down and they’re rebuilding like two or three houses on it,” he says. Condos and townhouses start at around $350,000 and can climb as high as $1.3 million, but the median price for a townhouse is $650,000. The median cost of a single-family home is $875,000. This is higher than the national median of $406,100 reported by the National Association of Realtors and the median for Rockland County, which is about $652,000.

Anthony is a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, Inside Sales Agent, and "Tech Guy" for The Anthony G Team at Keller Williams Valley Realty. He is normally the 1st point of contact here on the team. Sometimes that means speaking with homeowners about their properties & motivations and setting up a time for us to meet at their homes. Other times it means chatting/texting with a curious buyer who is seeing a home they like while they are on a break at work or at home. When he is not doing that, he is making sure that The Anthony G Team's listings are being marketed properly on the internet, Google, different real estate websites & social media- like Facebook, Instagram & YouTube. Either way, his job is to lend an ear, while providing the information that is asked for. Calling & speaking with The Anthony G Team is almost always a good time! He does not do that high-pressure sales stuff. He'd love to talk to you.
