The walkable Main Street features independent galleries and shops, while the Metro-North Railroad connects residents to Manhattan in about 80 minutes.

The city's amenities include the waterfront Pete and Toshi Seeger Riverfront Park and the 1872 Howland Cultural Center, housed in a Norwegian-style building designed by Richard Morris Hunt.

Apartment communities change their rental rates often - sometimes multiple times a day. We track the changes and keep you up to date when a rental rate decreases.
"Best value" units are located in buildings rated three stars or higher. We label apartment rentals that are priced significantly less than similar high-quality units nearby.
Apartment communities regularly advertise deals for new residents. Whether it's a move-in special or a free tv, we locate the rentals that offer a little something extra when you sign your lease.
