i had to read this a couple times to realize you meant you commute from somewhere that is 10 minutes from peekskill. I kept thinking, i don't care how little traffic there is at 6am how the hell are you getting to manhattan in 10 minutes from peekskill?!
Thatcareerguy , you say you work for NYC. What is your work schedule? I commute 10 minutes from peekskill to Manhattan everyday by car. However, my work hours are usually 6am-2pm. No traffic either way. If you have more traditional hours like 9-5 commuting by car would be a nightmare.
We moved up from Staten Island 18 years ago and have been happy up here. We too looked at the nice homes in Peekskill, but felt there was too much urban activity around to raising a family there.
Like I said, I'm 10 minutes from peekskill and it's worlds different.
That said, there are great restaurants there, the paramount theater has top notch bands, 4th of July parade and fireworks. All fun to visit, but live there..... nah.
Work hours are generally 7-5 ish.10 minutes from Peekskill? So you're in Cortlandt?
