White Plains is centrally located in Westchester County, occupying 10 square miles and situated at the crossroads of all major transportation. As White Plains is one of the nation’s top suburban business centers and home to many Fortune 500 companies, taxes are among the lowest in the county. Through careful planning, a quality of life is maintained where neighborhoods of White Plains real estate, as varied as modest apartments, stunning new high-rises, single-family houses or small homes, have remained the heart and soul of the city. First settled by New England Colonists in 1683, White Plains was where George Washington led the Revolutionary War Battle, and where the Declaration of Independence was first read. A hub of commercial activity, the area has several indoor shopping malls, major retail establishments including Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom’s, Fortunoff, Neiman Marcus, Tiffany & Co. and more than 1,500 stores, outstanding restaurants and nightlife venues. Tree-lined streets and neighborhoods retain a small town feel, yet White Plains is the political and economic center of the county. Often referred to as The City in the Park, White Plains combines green, clean, quality suburban life with superb cultural activities and convenience.
