Why Live in West Haverstraw
West Haverstraw, a village in the town of Haverstraw, sits very near the Hudson River and has seen its share of history. Grist and rolling mills and a calico printing factory were built along Minisceongo Creek in West Haverstraw during the 18th and 19th centuries. When the New York and New Jersey Railroad came through, brickmaking became the dominant industry, and brickyards eventually lined the Hudson River. Today, West Haverstraw stays true to its roots. “It’s a blue-collar, community-minded and family-oriented kind of town,” says Lauren Muller, broker of Howard Hanna Rand Realty, who raised her family in West Haverstraw but now lives just north of town in Stony Point. “North Rockland County is very welcoming, and diversity is celebrated.” West Haverstraw’s Hispanic population is the largest in the village and is reflected in the local businesses and the bilingual communications from the village government. “The natural beauty of the parks and river can’t be beaten,” Muller adds. “We are 45 miles north of Manhattan, but the warmth of this community keeps people here for generations.” The median home price in West Haverstraw is $430,000, slightly more than the national median.
