See You At The Lake In Suffern, New York! 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Suffern, New York is a great place to call home. I have lived here for 14 years, and I cannot imagine myself ever moving. Suffern has so much going for it!

I enjoy the city's shopping districts, with easy parking and a large diversity of stores and restaurants. Route 59 has st ...Read More ores, movie theaters, more restaurants, service businesses, and more. The Suffern Street Fair is great! Outdoor activities at Harriman State Park, Lake Sebago, and other beautiful spots make me feel like I'm on vacation every day! The Celery Farm is an amazing bird sanctuary. The employment situation is very good in Suffern. Getting around in town is easy and convenient! Our location is close to many large and mid-size employers.

The restaurants are always busy, and the food is delicious! I love stopping at Bagel Train on my way to work! Finding a nice place to live was easy for me. I have some wonderful neighbors, and I love my community. Read Less
