5 Renaissance Square #20A White Plains, NY 10601

A city within the suburbs, White Plains is Westchester’s county seat and its pulsing urban center. Dubbed the “Birthplace of New York,” Washington famously headquartered in the old city, which has since evolved from postcard-perfect Main Street USA to a modern, mid-sized metropolis with a defined cloud-piercing skyline to call its own. With 35 neighborhoods sprouting from its core, there’s always a parade, art festival, or little league tournament to attend. Mamaroneck Avenue, where you’ll find the bulk of restaurants and shops, throbs with culture and nightlife. New and pre-war apartments tower at its core, stretching along Broadway from The Westchester mall to the train station. In other corners, humble Capes co-mingle with elegant Tudors, carrying over from neighboring Scarsdale and Hartsdale. If you’re in need of air, the sprawling Saxon Woods Park brushes up on city limits, blending metropolis-living with greener pastures. A Metro-North express will rocket commuters into wondrous Grand Central Terminal in a whopping 25 minutes, competitive with even some same-borough subway rides.
