I've lived here my entire life so I speak from 18 years of experience. Rye has presented all children who live there with the opportunity of an amazing, competitive education while risking their ability to become humble adults. The opportunities often result in overwhelming entitlement, as well as extremely sheltered and close minded people. However, I was lucky enough to have had adults that have humbled me throughout my time here. They made me a better person and for that I will miss my people in Rye dearly. Living in Rye will give your child opportunities; they will then feel entitled to. It will give them knowledge but not common sense. It will build their resume, making them look excellent on paper but it will not give the common courtesy and human decency to carry themselves in person. It is the perfect place for a child to live and grow up, until they actually have to face the real world. The second they leave the bubble that is rye they will have a very rude awakening.
It’s a nice town. Close to everything. You can get to the city easily. Overpriced homes unfortunately. Tiny postage stamp size properties Not worth moving out of the city for this amount of space. Because the zoning is so small the schools are overcrowded. Paying a premium for kids to be in relocatable classrooms (because they can’t fit in the buildings)
You can go to neighboring towns like greenhaven and Harrison. Schools are just as good and not overflowing. Also incredibly frustrating that there is no bus to bring kids to school.
The really nice thing is that the town has ‘rebranded’ itself pRYEde (pride and Rye put together) so they are trying to be inclusive as I think many of the kids in the rye schools are LGBTQ.

There is no decent rental housing in Rye, NY. The rentals are also expensive. Most of the apartments are old, have issues with heat and hot water, mold, broken appliances and ant/centipede infestations. Even the locks on our front door didn't work. The management upkeeps the exterior of the building and takes excellent care of the landscaping though - that's about it... The homes in this area are also very beautiful, but very expensive. We had issues with serious bullying in the elementary school which wasn't resolved until the district became involved. We tutored our child outside of school because the curriculum is lacking. The parents in Rye have the means to pay for after-school clubs and ensure programs such as music, art and gym are provided.
