I spent the majority of my youth and early adult life here. I find it a safe location to raise a family. Although the price point may be out of reach for some, there are affordable options within the town. Having everything in terms of grocery stores, restaurants, and entertainment in a more or less walking distance is always a plus. The public schools in the area are also well above average. Overall, it’s an escape from a more hustle and bustle lifestyle and a nice place to start a family and raise children. I will say though, I do think there are better places to eventually retire to.
Close to everything. Easy ride into Manhattan on weekends. Commuting into Manhattan is easier from Bergen or Westchester, but Difficult. Beautiful, well kept homes. Great school system. Lots of parks. Bear Mountain, Harriman, Hudson River parks are an easy ride to get to. Good restaurants in New City, Nyack, Piermont.
Expensive town, but worth it.

I've lived in New City for most of my childhood and for the most part, it's your prototypical New York City area suburb. It's quite charming in some parts, especially when driving along South Mountain Road and walking at Zukor Park, but it can be quite boring if you're older than 13. You need a car here unless you're walking along Main Street, public transit isn't robust. Winters are cold and grey with the occasional heavy snowfall but summers can be very enjoyable. Clarkstown schools are highly rated and I received a quality education at New City, Woodglen, Festa, and North. If you have significant passive income, work a lucrative job in Rockland, are older, and/or enjoy peace and quiet, I highly recommend this area. Otherwise, I'd recommend the more entertaining Westchester or North Jersey suburbs. Homes cost way too much for an obscure town with so little to do and a population of less than 32,000.
