About Rockland

Rockland County, Tappan Zee Bridge - This picture was snapped years ago while we were showing property in Nyack.  I wish I could remember what property it was.  What a view.

Think of this:  
*  Peaceful, pastoral surroundings
*  Day Trips to scenic Beautiful River Valleys
*  ... And all this is within an easy commute to New York City

If you come to Rockland from points south, chances are you'll make your journey here across the great Tappen Zee Bridge. Below are some pictures of this beautiful bridge.  Its about 2 miles across. You'll enjoy a great vista of The famous Hudson River.

If you can't go to the lake everyday, You can see this wonderful Vista at several locations around Rockland County. 


Here is a regional Study of the Tappan Zee Bridge/I-287 Corridor for the next century.
