"Space & Nature"
Top Benefit
"Quality of Life"
The Logistics
Instead of the PATH to the subway, you take Metro-North to Grand Central. It's a cleaner, seated ride. The door-to-door time is often comparable, but the quality of the journey is vastly improved.
The Lifestyle Shift
You've outgrown the condo and the stroller traffic jams on Washington Street. Greenwich gives you the yard you're craving without losing the walkability if you choose Old Greenwich or Downtown.
Local Expert Insight
"Look at the neighborhoods near the train stations first. It helps ease the transition from the hyper-walkable lifestyle of Hoboken."
