Briarcliff is the village you always wanted to grow up in. However, there is a price to pay for that, and so it is pricey. It’s kind of like Mayberry, people live very well, but they are also so entitled that they complain about every little thing. It used to be wonderful 20 years ago before too many NYCers moved in.
I've lived here all my life, and I absolutely love it! We have a great commute to the city. Also, this town is SAFE! I've never heard of a crime happening in my town. Everyone is nice and there is a wonderful sense of community. Lots of kids and block parties. The schools are amazing, and everyone comes out to Friday night football games at the high school. I HIGHLY recommend living here!
Briarcliff is a family focused community with excellent schools and recreation activities in a very safe environment that is within a reasonable commute of New York City (particularly mid-town).
Here is what Briarcliff is not:
* it is not inexpensive - housing costs are high and taxes are through the roof;
* it is not very diverse - although this could depend on what you mean by diverse;
* it is not easy for newcomers - let me be more precise; it is fine for new families with pre-school age kids who can "grow up" in the community - particularly if you are also involved in a local temple or church; much harder for kids (and their parents) to break-in socially later on.
