Exclusive Living in the ‘Burbs: 10 of the Most Expensive Homes for Rent in Counties Around NYC
Share this article:
New York City is well-known as a preferred nesting place for millionaires (and a few billionaires, too!). But not all wealthy New Yorkers reside within city limits. Quite often, some of them will escape the crowds or their sky-high penthouses, and head toward the suburbs. Close to NYC for easy daily commute, while far enough from the hustle of bustle of downtown, the small affluent towns around the Big Apple are great choices for a more laid-back lifestyle.
The luxury rental market in NYC is obviously strong, but the neighboring counties are also thriving. From a beautiful home in Weehawken (Hudson County, NJ) overlooking NYC’s skyline, to a fabulous waterfront estate in Mamaroneck (Westchester County, NY), and a luxurious property in Greenwich (Fairfield County, CT) boasting views of Long Island Sound – there are plenty of rental choices waiting for new tenants who can afford their price tags. That’s because these homes ask more than $30k…each month!
For those who’ve got big bucks to spend on rent and love the suburbs, we’ve put together a list of 10 of the priciest homes for rent in counties around NYC: Bergen and Hudson (NJ), Westchester and Nassau (NY), and Fairfield (CT). Spoiler alert: #1 was featured in a movie starring Pierce Brosnan:
