Rye is set along two protected miles of the Long Island Sound shoreline with its own harbor and sandy beaches. It is the smallest city in New York State with six square miles. Founded in 1660, Rye is almost completely residential in character and rests within an area of notable affluence. The charming downtown area with quaint shops and boutiques may resemble a New England village and is a haven for professionals and executives, many of whom commute to nearby New York City.

Rye is unsurpassed in entertainment facilities, enjoying the beauty, beaches, woodlands, and natural preserves of the Long Island Sound. There are many private Country Clubs, swimming pools, marinas, and the Rye Playland Amusement Park adds another gem to its sparkling crown.

Rye is 23 miles to New York City, a mere 37 minute rain ride by Metro-No0rth express to Grand Central Station. The Hutchinson River Parkway and Interstate Routes 287 and 95 are easily accessible. Westchester County Airport, LaGuardia, and JFK Airport are all within comfortable driving distance and can also be reached by bus or taxi.
