White Plains
We visited Stamford CT last week and flew into White Plains NY (weschester airport) and saw some of the most beautiful homes on our way to and from CT and it made us wonder...whatis the crime rate in white plains? Are there any pretty green nice suburbs there? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.  |

The White Plains airport is actually located in Armonk/Purchase, Northeast of White Plains. What route did you take to Stamford? If you took the back way, you most likely went through Armonk/Bedford/Pound Ridge into Stamford. Those are all gorgeous suburbs, with a lot of green space, but incredibly expensive (I'm talking $1M++ for the homes you were probably driving by).
White Plains is a pretty safe city, but it is a city. The crime does not really bleed over into the burbs.

Agreed. The suburbs are nice and fairly spread out; some of the downtown areas can be sketchy but in 42 years of going to downtown White Plains I never had a problem. And you have great access to NYC. Expensive real estate though. |

Downtown is completely safe.
Just around downtown it gets not-as safe. Like, south lex, ferris, etc.
but, then outside of that, it's amazing. (highlands, rosedale).
It's like a bullseyes target.
None the less, WP is amazing<3.

As a prior poster said, what you saw wasn't White Plains. White Plains is OK, but it's a city. It's no Armonk.
