New City (Rockland County’s county seat) feels like a comfortable, walkable suburban base with leafy neighborhoods, local restaurants and cafes, and easy access to outdoor recreation along the Hudson and the Palisades—perfect for multi‑week stays that balance quiet evenings with weekend adventures.
When you want bigger-city energy, Manhattan is a straightforward train or drive away and nearby White Plains offers extra shopping, dining and entertainment options, so you won’t be stuck with “nothing to do.”
