Only thing I know of New Rochelle is its mention in a Biggie Smalls rap song…
I live 40 mins from New Rochelle. Iona College is located there. Its very typical of elitist liberal towns- there’s one side of town with beautiful homes that go for $1.2/$1.5/$1.8 million. Then there’s areas that are complete crapholes.
It used to be a beautiful place but like most areas, people navigated further North as the riff-raff moved in
Isn’t New Rochelle where Rob and Laura Petrie (The Dick Van Dyke Show) lived????
Wealthy Jewish people in the (quite lovely) northern part of New Rochelle. City also has some very nice homes along the Long Island Sound. Areas near downtown or near the border of Mt. Vernon can be quite rough.
Rob and Laura Petrie lived in New Rochelle.
