Valley Cottage, NY - A Needle in a Haystack 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Living in Valley Cottage, NY has proven to be the best decision I have ever made. I have been here with my husband for only three months, but have seen the positivity and friendliness of the community. It's a lot slower here compared to other New York cities and suburbs, which I ...Read More love. We are just a few miles from shopping, entertainment, and the busy streets of the city.

I find that being here would make a great place to start our family. The neighborhood is quite and everyone is so polite. The community really comes together for events and special programs. There are so many things to do here on lazy weekend days. My husband and I love taking long romantic walks through Rockland Lake State Park. On a Saturday night we go out to a few of the best places to go. We enjoy date night at Smokin' Bull Restaurant and then we head over to Levity Live Comedy Club for a few laughs. Valley Cottage is a place where you will never be bored, and a great place to raise a family Read Less
