One of the greatest advantages of living in our communities is the unmatched commuter access. Residents are just minutes from the New Rochelle Transit Center, which provides direct access to Metro-North Railroad, Amtrak, and regional bus service.

Commuters can currently reach Grand Central Terminal in approximately 28 minutes via Metro-North—often as fast as, or even faster than, commuting from many neighborhoods within New York City itself. It offers the convenience of city access without paying Manhattan or Brooklyn rental prices, while still enjoying larger apartments, better finishes, and more included amenities.

In addition, planned improvements to Metro-North service are expected to make Downtown New Rochelle even more attractive. The Penn Station Access project is expected to eventually allow residents to travel directly from the New Rochelle station to Penn Station on the west side of Manhattan without needing to transfer trains. This will provide even greater convenience for commuters traveling to Midtown West, Hudson Yards, Chelsea, the Garment District, Madison Square Garden, and connecting services such as NJ Transit, the Long Island Rail Road, and Amtrak.

For drivers, our communities also offer convenient access to major roadways including Interstate 95 and the Hutchinson River Parkway, allowing for easy travel throughout New York and beyond.
