If you're after a sense of community, there is no reason to suffer a subdivision (which to me would be akin to a long painful death). There are numerous villages in upper Westchester with strong neighborhood associations-- Croton, Katonah, Yorktown Heights--where you will find a great sense of community and lots of socializing. One of my favorite areas is the Mt Airy Trails in Croton--the neighborhood association has regular potlucks and get-togethers, holiday parties, etc, and neighbors socialize a great deal. There are no sidewalks, but the streets are very safe to walk on. I live in a more rural, spread-out area, but our community association (Huntersville, in Yorktown) has regular get-togthers and parties and neighbors organize get-togethers all the time. We have regular play groups, parties for the kids on the bus route, and so on.
The point is, you can get a great sense of community wihout buying a cookie-cutter Mchouse that looks like all of the others on the street and that is in a completely artificial, characterless, and totally false envirinment. Not that I dislike developemnts or anything.
