"A great place for families"
I have lived here for 4 years with three small children and have really enjoyed it. For those of you with preschoolers, there is a wonderful preschool association that offers playgroups, moms' nights out, and an abundance of activities for the little ones, and a chance for moms and families to network before officially entering the school system. There are many great programs offered by the recreation center for children and adults, and a great summer recreation program for children. While there are definitely some flashy folks out and about downtown, there are plenty of down to earth, nice people as well. There are a handful of good preschools in-town or nearby. The Catholic Church in town, St Patricks, has a very active, warm community, and a large CYO basketball program. There is also a JCC in the next town over which offers many programs as well as a preschool. The Gym located off Rt. 22 is a great NYC caliber gym offering great classes and childcare. And the new De Cicco's supermarket in town has made food shopping very convenient. Beyond groceries, good shopping is nearby in White Plains or Mt. Kisco.
