New Rochelle with Kids: 25 Things to Do for Westchester Families
Submitted by Sonia Gonzalez on
New Rochelle is one of the southernmost cities in Westchester County with a rich history dating back to 1688 when Protestant refugees made their way from France to escape persecution, many from the French city of La Rochelle (hence the city's current name). Now the seventh largest city in New York state with a population of over 75,000, New Rochelle has become a destination spot for families. You'll find quintessential suburban living with sprawling homes and gorgeous lawns as well as a thriving downtown with high-rise luxury condos complete with high-end amenities, shopping, restaurants and an eclectic and growing arts scene.
