The Ultimate Commuter's Dream

The biggest draw to Southern Westchester is the Metro-North Railroad. Towns like Pelham, New Rochelle, and Larchmont sit right on the New Haven Line. You can step onto a train and be walking through the concourse of Grand Central Terminal in just 30 to 40 minutes. It is often a faster and more comfortable commute than taking the subway from the outer boroughs!
