The Sound Shore Community (Long Island Sound) is approximately 30-40 minutes to midtown Manhattan. We have single family homes that range in price from $250,000 up to $10,000,000. Our area is home to famous authors, actors, singers, and athletes. Our proximity to Manhattan, yet our bucolic setting, make us a very desirable location to settle down. Condominiums range from $200,000 to $2,000,000 for a waterfront townhouse. Our area also offers wide variety of co-operative apartments ranging in price from $30,000 studios to $500,000 penthouses.

In particular, New Rochelle has become a small Mecca of sorts for GLBT people. Again, this is not only due to our short commute to the financial capitol of the world, which is also a leading gay capital, but also due to our rich history and culture. New Rochelle was founded in 1688 by the Huguenots escaping France and religious persecution, today, due to its roots in persecution, New Rochelle maintains a very tolerant attitude towards any lifestyle choice.

Whether you are a New York resident or moving to the area from another location I am prepared to make the transition as simple as possible. This region is noted for its hospitality. It offers many benefits to nature lovers, hikers, museum fans, and sports fans. The Hudson River Valley is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I am pleased to call it home and would love to show you why.
