7 Quiet Commuter Communities Within an Hour of NYC
Last updated on December 17th, 2024

Westchester, NY and New Jersey offer a wide variety of lifestyle choices in picturesque towns surrounded by serene nature. Not only are these suburban neighborhoods a great place to raise kids but they also afford commuters easy access to the Big Apple for work or leisure. Homes ranging from townhomes to estates provide space not often found within the five boroughs, as well as an escape after a busy day or a long night.
