"A peaceful and intelligent green community"

Moving from the city, Chestnut Ridge reminds me of a rural/suburban Park Slope. It consists of eco-conscious parents who are focused on raising their children in a very thoughtful manner.

I particularly love the Hungry Hollow food Co-op as well as the coffee shop and Yoga studio down the street. Best of all, Chestnut Ridge is a 5 minute drive from wonderful shopping in NJ, Spring Valley, and Nanuet. The express bus makes commuting into the city a breeze.
