White Plains, located 25 miles north of Midtown Manhattan, combines city conveniences with suburban living. The revitalized downtown features high-rise apartment communities and The Westchester mall, anchored by Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. The rental market reflects the area's desirability, with current average rents ranging from $2,663 for studios to $4,289 for three-bedroom apartments. A 31-minute express train service to Grand Central Terminal makes White Plains an ideal choice for Manhattan commuters.
Known as "The Birthplace of New York State," White Plains preserves its Revolutionary War heritage at sites like the Jacob Purdy House, while embracing contemporary living. Saxon Woods Park offers residents a golf course and swimming pool, while Mamaroneck Avenue serves as the heart of downtown dining and shopping. The White Plains Performing Arts Center and the weekly farmers' market add to the community's appeal.
