Orangetown Reviews
Rating 4.29 out of 5 7 reviews
Good:
Close to the city.
Safe an clean in summer.
Promptly clear of snow in
Not so good:
Nosey neighbors, gossip is a plague.
They all talk to each other with no grace.
They will openly discuss your actions or inactions in front of your property with an alarming lack of discretion.
The town officials are rude.
They have a history of marginalizing diverse groups.
Permits are a nightmare.
They adopt an approach of perpetual surveillance upon your property.
They'll trespass your property without hesitation.
Food choices are poor in quality and scarce.
So are decent grocery stores unless you can drive well into NJ for alternatives.
Transportation choices leave much to be desired.
Ubers take 30+ minutes to arrive when they do but more often they'll accept your ride from the other side of the Hudson to cancel it shortly after. If I could snap my finger, I would move away without hesitation.

Orangetown is a close-knit community where almost everyone knows eachother. The school district is one of the best in the area and are provided with a great education as well as extracurricular activites and sports. The housing market in the area is rising and homes are relatively affordable.
This is a wonderful community. Everyone makes you feel welcome and they are always eager to lend a helping hand. Great place to raise your family!
