Spring Valley, NY Area Guide

A perfect balance between New York State’s tranquil forests and New York City’s urban jungle.

Upscale Rail Service Public Transportation Family-Friendly Commuter Parks Outdoors Nature

Spring Valley is a charming mid-sized village located just twenty miles from Manhattan and five miles from the New Jersey state line. The landscape is filled with tranquil suburban neighborhoods with a small but lively Main Street commercial district featuring a unique blend of restaurants serving up everything from Caribbean vegetarian fare to Portuguese barbecue. The cozy small-town environment attracts many folks who want to put some distance between themselves and the often frantic pace of life in New York City, but the close distance and commuter rail service allows many residents to still work in the Big Apple. The relatively affordable apartment market and low crime rate definitely sweeten the deal, and the close proximity to the massive Harriman State Park allows outdoor enthusiasts to head off and explore the natural beauty of southeast New York anytime they start to feel a bit antsy.
