Connecticut Postcard
Around New York City, where to live ?
I am French, I looove the US and NYC for 30 years and plan to live there. Your country is wonderful ! Of course, Manhattan is very attractive, but what about NJ, Brooklyn, Connecticut... ? If I choose a quiet place (instead of Manhattan) what will your advice be ? Is there a "little heaven" - like a postcard - within 1 hour from NYC ?
Thanks a lot, and BONJOUR from the French Riviera (betwenn Monte Carlo and the Italian border) !
Thank you very very much for these answers : usefull to me 
Infos : male, single (straight), 45, quiet (but love Manhattan), will only move to the NY area with $$$ ! "Vive l'Amérique !"
Thank you again for the time you spent for answering. I really appreciate. Since my first time in NYC ('81), I am in love with this city and your wonderful country. "Vive l'Amérique !"
there are quiet suburban areas within an hour of new york. There is an area called Kotonah, NY that is like pure country. Fields, hills, forests... and any place there will cost you a million easy and that is just getting started! Greenwich, CT is a fabulous place to live -lots of celebrities live there and lots of CEO's. It is about 30 minutes train ride into city. MAny places in westchester are very very nice and again cost alot of money to live in- larchmont, scarsdale, rye. These are very upper class suburbs of NY. Its where are the bankers and CEO's raise there families. Coming from France I would thing you woudl see these houses and just laugh at their prices and yearly taxes! I mean they are CRAZy money for not much house. Then there are mansions that somewhere two or three hours from the city would cost 1 million but in westchester or lower Conneticutt will cost 10 million!
