Tuxedo, NY

Set in the Ramapo Mountains of southern Orange County, Tuxedo is a quiet, heavily wooded community of about 3,100 residents. Unlike the private gated enclave of Tuxedo Park next door, Tuxedo itself is spread across the Ramapo River valley with a relaxed, down-to-earth feel. It grew around historic rail and iron-mining routes through the hills, and today it offers convenient travel thanks to Route 17, the Thruway, and a commuter train station in town.

Surrounded by Harriman State Park and Sterling Forest, the area is ideal for anyone who loves the outdoors. Miles of hiking trails, quiet lakes, and winding mountain roads make up the backyard here, while local schools and the Tuxedo Public Library anchor daily community routines. It is a great fit for movers seeking a peaceful setting surrounded by nature without being cut off from regional transit and nearby towns.
