Westchester NY
Westchester NY is a very desirable area of New York State situated just north of New York City. The region of Westchester NY, orWestchester County, encompasses a large area stretching from Yonkers on the southern end of the county along the Hudson River to the northern point of Peekskill.
Westchester County borders Connecticut on the eastern side of the county, stretching up to North Salem. Westchester County is comprised of 48 municipalities and the County Seat is White Plains, NY. There are two bridges in Westchester NY that cross the Hudson River, the Tappan Zee Bridge to the South and the Bear Mountain Bridge to the North.
Westchester NY has a rich and vibrant history. From Native Americans to European settlers to the Industrial era, Westchester NY has seen many changes over the years, yet the pristine natural beauty of rural areas seem untouched by time. For centuries, the Hudson River has been utilized for sustenance, trade, commerce and of course recreation. As a result of commerce, the natural beauty was compromised along many parts of the Hudson in Westchester NY, but in recent decades there has been a push to revitalize closed factories into sustainable residential and commercial/non-industrial areas that compliment the surroundings. The dedication of local residents to restore lands along the Hudson River to their natural beauty is making the area even more desirable than ever.
The idyllic rolling hills and green pastures of the northeastern parts of Westchester County are incredibly scenic. The small towns and villages scattered along winding roads take you back to years past. Time seems to stand still in many of these quaint villages. Historic Homes inWestchester NY are definitely something to be experienced. One could make a hobby touring Westchester County historic homes and admiring the unique architecture and magnificent gardens.
Westchester NY developed as one of the first suburbs of a major City. With train service from New York City and the Bronx, Westchester County has always been a more affordable and more family friendly place to live outside of The City. The Metro North Hudson Line runs along the Hudson River connecting New York City and the Bronx to the Hudson River Towns. Westchester River Town Train Stations offer residents a convenient way to create a work and home life balance. Many commuters can be seen on their daily journey to and from The City. The Metro North Harlem line reaches eastern parts of Westchester NY with stops in Scarsdale and White Plains.
