Manhattan to Brooklyn, considering Westchester, Dutchess & Putnam Counties. Here's what I'm looking for:
1. Affordability, i.e. starter home $200,000's
2. Good schools
3. Diversity/Community/Old-Town Feel & Charm
4. Metrosexual (i.e. near MetroNorth to get to my beloved Manhattan in @ 1hr)
5. Culture! Food, Art, Architecture, etc.
6. Safety/low-crime (w/in reason)
Areas I'm seriously considering and am reading posts about include:
Sleepy Hollow
Peekskill
Newburgh
Beacon
Greenburgh/Ossining
Elmsford
PLEASE send me your response based on actually living there or recently moved to any of the above. I'm a single mother with a very good job in finance. Want to ensure my toddler is exposed to all-things Towne & Country w/easy access to NYC.
Thanks a million!
