Has one here moved/ looked at moving to New Rochelle to live in a fancier apartment for lower rent and save on the extra NYC income tax. Is it worth the 45min train ride to work?
Ps I need to go to the office (in person) for work 4 days of the week PwC is my old employer.

The Harlem and Hudson lines of MetroNorth are 100x better than the New Haven line.

Agree — I take the Harlem line and it’s awesome

I lived in New Rochelle in the Halstead and I thought the building was great and metro north was convenient enough. If you work late on deals or socialize after work frequently, it can be a bit of a drag, but otherwise I would say it's on par with living anywhere else outside of walking distance to your office.

Disclaimer though - did not find much of a welcoming social scene in New Rochelle the same way you find it in NYC. Your mileage may vary though. I was 24 at the time - straight white male in banking for context

Yeah you'll be fine as long as you don't mind eating dinner at like 8-9pm then. I had 3 nights in a row where I had to work past 1am but still wake up at 6am to catch a train and I immediately looked for something within walking distance to my office after haha

Sure. Go live in trump tower.

Lots of people move to westchester to get out of city. Metro north is very reliable and a smooth ride

Rather go to Jersey City if that was the goal.

Westchester > Jersey City. Way nicer
