The 2011 Best Places to Live ranking is here (CNN/Money) and most of us are not. What do they know? In the area, only Mamaroneck and Harrison make the top 100. Neither Larchmont nor New Rochelle were even considered for the rankings…Larchmont, perhaps because it was considered part of Mamaroneck due to the schools, but why not New Rochelle? Rye? Scarsdale?
Here’s their opinion:
