ROCKLAND LOWER HUDSON VALLEY
Rockland
W elcome to Rockland.
We are the smallest county in New York and, we think, the best.
From out quaint, walkable riverfront villages of Nyack, Piermont and Haverstraw to sophisticated shops and galleries to our top-notch restaurants and historic sites,
Rockland has it all.
Our quality housing, recreational activities and award-winning schools make Rockland a uniquely
desirable place to live, work and raise a family.
And Rockland is open for business. International companies have discovered that Rockland has a
favorable business climate, paired with good transportation options and proximity to New York City. One-third of the county is parkland, which offers limitless opportunities to explore the area’s natural beauty, boasting breathtaking views of the Hudson River. Hike into Bear Mountain, where you can ice skate or ride a classic, restored carousel or visit the Trailside Zoo. Or go to Suffern, where
a hiking trail leads to Harriman State Park, the second-largest state park in New York.
While you’re in Suffern, you can catch a movie at the historic Lafayette Theater and perhaps hear
the Mighty Wurlitzer organ. Enjoy wine in a restored Victorian mansion at Torne Valley Vineyards. Shopping options are plentiful and include the Palisades Center mall in West Nyack and the Shops
at Nanuet, as well as numerous smaller stores that line our downtowns. There’s really something for everyone in Rockland.
The Shops at Nanuet
Sincerely,
“...a uniquely desirable place to live, work and raise a family.“
