nice to see all these friendly people helping you out and such..
but after reading all of this, it's time for me to come in.
school districts :
do not look into nanuet senior highschool. i attended BOTH clarkstown south and nanuet. nanuet is a school filled with lowlifes and everyone there ends up going to a community college or no college at all. it's not a respectable school.
out of all the schools in clarkstown, i highly suggest clarkstown south. clarkstown north is infested with cockroaches, (it's funny how people splurge on their high end taxes and yet the school does absolutely nothing to hire an exterminator) the children there are snobs, and are mainly hideous. you don't need your children coming in contact with them unless you plan on marrying them off to wealthy components. that my friend, is a whole 'nother story.
clarkstown south has the best reputation for college seeking students. 98% of the children there end up going to high end colleges.
it's an extremely large school. it has three floors, three assistant principals (each has their own floor) and one main principal. they work with children well and try to maintain the school correctly -which might i add, do a pretty awesome job.
the middle school is set up into wings in alphabetical order up to E.
they used to be set up for the area the children lived in; the wings are mainly used by everyone but they only matter during homeroom.
now, i think it's somewhat divided by grade. during lunch it goes by grade and all the wings have it with the children having their choice to sit in three different cafeterias all near eachother.
tappan is covered in small houses not worth the money.
they're old and pretty much crappy.
grandview on hudson area is extremely pricey if you want a normal space to live in. it gets too cold since it's right near the water and most rentals are tiny.
if you're still looking for a place to rent, then i have the solution for you.
my parents own two houses in rockland. one in tomkins cove and one in nanuet.
the house in nanuet has a large backyard that backs up into a wonderful stream and has two sheds. one shed is designed for a playhouse set up for kids; it used to be mine.
anyways. the house has three bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs. there's a kitchen on each floor and there are two bathrooms, two living rooms, a dining room, and a garage in the house.
that house is going up for rent because they're moving full time into the house that i am currently living in - the house in tomkins cove.
the house belongs to the clarkstown district and goes to clarkstown south. the house is five minutes away from the palisades mall and you're 25 minutes away from the city. you're on a dead-end street which means a lot of privacy.
the rent is about 2500 a month. it's negotiable.
if you need any more information, email me at
vtb08@aol.com with the topic of "Nanuet".
as for walking your dogs, there's a park down the street. it has a softball/baseball field, a large basketball court with four hoops and an entire actual playground.
the nanuet mall is two minutes away from us and jersey is nearly nine.
for ballet classes, Coupe has the best reputation and a lot of my friends attended it. it's only three minutes away from the house.
by the way, yes..you can walk dogs at Hook Mountain.
