The City Of New Rochelle Real Estate

Bordering on the outer limits of New York City, New Rochelle is the gateway to Westchester County, the most desirable NY suburb thanks to its location along the beautiful Long Island Sound, its vast expanses of parks and beaches, its family oriented lifestyle and its relatively affordable home market.

New Rochelle was founded in 1688 by French Huguenots and grew to become one of the richest communities in the nation at the beginning of the 20th century, as still evidenced by the remarkable Art Deco architecture of many Main Street buildings.

After a prolonged decline, New Rochelle is growing again and is poised to experience a significant revival with a number of new residential projects as well as retail and office development initiatives. Moreover, first class higher education institutions - like Iona College, College of New Rochelle and Monroe College – are experiencing a significant expansion which helps revitalize the city downtown.

The municipality is successfully taking action to enhance the quality of life and attract more businesses and home buyers. New Rochelle is proving to be particularly attractive to those who feel priced out of Manhattan and find comparable properties for half the price or even less.
