White Plains is a great city. My favorite part is the amount of diversity and respect held within neighborhoods and people in general. No matter the race, gender, any type of looks, etc, there is no judgement and creates a safe space for everyone to be themselves! The only change I would make would be more different areas to explore. After living here for so long, there aren't a bunch of new places to explore. Overall, a great city.
I loved the diversity throughout the town and the the school system. Residents are provided access to many stores and restaurants right downtown! I was given a chance to also participate on White Plain's varsity track team where I met coaches and people who will see you past your limits and potential. The rigor throughout the education system was also tremendous.
I've lived in White Plains my whole life and have never had a problem! It's about 20 miles from NYC, allowing residents to catch city life by catching the train and checking out what NYC has to offer, while also avoiding the constant action. White Plains is super diverse with people of many backgrounds, allowing for people to gain many unique perspectives on many different topics. It is a safe neighborhood and I cannot complain!
