Day-to-day life in White Plains, NY

Jacob C. Apr 7, 2026

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 4 years ago from Salt Lake City and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Old Town. It's improving for what you get.

Jobs: The market is reasonable right now, especially in retail. If you're in government you might struggle.

People: Generally excellent. It took about 11 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Mexican.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
