Long Island without that whole civilization thing.
In a nutshell, the ominous beginnings of Upstate New York. If the English Countryside is your idea of paradise, but you don't want to go all the way, then this is the place for you.

Hello, I live in Scarsdale! That's in Westchester.... Are you impressed yet?
Person #2:
You do? My condolences...
It must be like living in suburban Washington. I mean, everything is colonial, and you have to commute through ghetto everyday. Again, my condolences...

Get the Westchester mug.79ave to 117ave and 32st to 48st. palm trees, taken care of house, coral gables of the cubans, but once you hit bird road from 114ave to 87ave it starts down grading barely any grass in front of the houses lots of power cables over the streets lots of cars parked on the border of the roads burglar bars on some houses and gangs belive it or not the bird road boys i think they had a video on you tube. westchester has had shootings, beatings, robberies, auto thefts, and drugs but it is liveable just like the rest of miami. westchester and hialeah are where the most cubans are at.

Get the Westchester mug.There are the Jewish/Italian towns of Armonk, Chappaqua, Pleasantville, Thornwood, Golden's Bridge, Katonah, South Salem, and Somers which get virtually no crime, it has some nice houses, but most houses are average size at about 2500-3500 square feet. This is normal for me because I live in this section of the county and most of the houses around my area have an acre of land and a house of 2500-3000 square feet with plenty of room between houses and no crime.
The second group of Northern Westchester is the farming communities of Bedford, Shrub Oak, Pound Ridge, Purdys, and North Salem. Most of the houses here are bigger and even further apart then the communities listed above. House size averages 3,000-4,000 square feet with occasionally bigger houses and about 2 acres of land with some houses more and some less. There is no crime at all here, the downtown of each city are very small and nice, and almost everyone here is white and mainly Italian.
Finally, the most racially diverse area and the most city-feel like area of Northern Westchester is Peekskill, Yorktown Heights, and Mount Kisco. Peekskill actually has its fair share of crime in some areas and is home to the most Black people in Northern Westchester. Mount Kisco is home to the largest Mexican population in all of Westchester County. Yorktown Heights is still mainly white, but instead of the city being 95% white it is 75% white with the other percentage Hispanic and Black. These cities have great shopping.

Get the Northern Westchester mug.A small western suburb of Chicago smacked in the middle of Bellwood, Broadview, Hillside and Oak Brook. It's so secluded by the other suburbs that very few people would know about it. It's very quiet and the population is mostly either old people or rich, preppy kids who attend the area's several private schools. A very small percentage of the population is actually cool. Also known as "Deadchester" to many.
So, you live near Chicago, too? Where are you from?
Westchester.
Where's THAT at?
I'm not even gonna bother explaining where...
