Despite its “traditional suburban feel,” White Plains offers a “full accompaniment of urban amenities,” including an active downtown. Residents can enjoy a variety of restaurant options ranging from casual to fine dining, or take in a show at one of the city’s many arts and culture organizations, including The White Plains Performing Arts Center — a 410-seat professional Equity theater.

On the suburban side, White Plains offers one of the best school districts in the state and a number of opportunities for outdoor recreation. This community has an ice rink, Farmer’s Market, and two public pools, as well as multiple public parks and 4.3 miles of designated bike lanes.

In addition to its mix of suburban and urban, White Plains also has the distinction of being “one of the most accessible cities in the region.” According to the City of White Plains, this New York community has two Metro-North stations, a public bus system, and offers easy access to major highways and the Westchester County Airport. The city’s location makes it a commuter’s dream and ideal jumping-off point for day trips and frequent travelers.
