Main Transportation To Manhattan or “The City”

One of the most frequently asked questions is “how close are you to the city”? Well if you are going to Central Park, the average train commute will be 45 mins to an hour. The Express Bus to Manhattan can take you there within 22-40 mins depending on traffic. Car/Uber/Lyft will take you there between 18-30 mins depending on traffic. However, the NYC Ferry is a unique way to get to Manhattan and since there is no traffic, and barely any delays, the ferry can take you to the city between 15-45 minutes depending on where in Manhattan you wish to go. The best part about the ferry is that it is only $2.75 to ride.

White Plains Road

The main road to most transportation in and out of the city. With access to buses that can take you to the train or the ferry. There are plenty of places to eat and to shop here as well.

Soundview Park

This park is about 5 -7 blocks away from the property and it is my favorite place to immerse in nature and take a jog on the huge track.

Food scene & Shopping

The Shops at Bruckner

Plenty of spots to eat, shop, and explore scenery in general. The Shops is less than a 5 min walk and is accessible to most busses towards the MTA subways.

Nearby Night Life

For something maybe just a jump, skip, and a hop away..

Isla Cafe

Isla has really great happy hour specials and has really good food. The drinks are just the cherry on top. But if that is not your scene, Parkchester offers other lounges and restaurants to choose from.
