"Been in new Rochelle 34 years.."

Been here 34 years and I can't tell you how much it's changed. I grew up in new Rochelle all my life, attended school here and will always love new Rochelle for this but I'm getting out. I have kids now and the schools are terrible. It's not safe anymore and it's become a not so nice place to live. Even in the elementary schools its scary, it's absolutely pitiful. It saddens me to think what was once such a great town has made a turn for the worst. As a homeowner we pay high taxes and the schools aren't up to par. They are far from safe. Security needs to be tightened and changes need to be made but doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.
Cons
  • high taxes
  • some unsafe streets
  • gangs all over downtown new rochelle
  • poor schools
