Chestnut Ridge, NY

Chestnut Ridge is a village in the town of Ramapo in Rockland County, just north of the New Jersey line. Its location gives it a suburban Hudson Valley feel, with quick access to both Rockland communities and northern New Jersey. The Little Red Schoolhouse Museum is one of the village's local historical touchpoints, and the surrounding area includes a mix of residential neighborhoods, schools, and wooded roads. Chestnut Ridge is residential and local, but still closely tied to the larger New York metropolitan region.
