I lived in West Haverstraw from 1995-2013. When we purchased our home the taxes were around 2K a year, when we sold the home they were $7400. The best part of living in West Haverstraw was the trash pick up and street plowing. I can’t say that the streets were well maintained because they were not. I liked the trash, recycling and bulk pick ups very much, Where I live now I just have trash pick up. It was very convenient and I was able to walk to the many types of stores nearby. There were many good places to eat. The only pet store closed up around 2000 and nothing opened to fill the void until 2015. There were good hardware stores nearby but the drive to the nearest Home Depot or Lowes was longer than I liked. What I disliked the most about West Haverstraw was the litter, noise, traffic and lack of open space. When we got dogs in 2011 and walked them all over, I began to see how much the area had gone downhill. Seemed that there were more rental units than owned properties and it showed. A lot of the townhouse units near me looked terrible and we decided it was time to go elsewhere since the taxes did not justify what we were getting in return, Many neighbors of ours have packed up and sold also because the neighborhood is quite trashy. I felt like the minority as the majority of the population is Spanish speaking. I can’t believe that I lived in such a place for so long but it was a stepping stone to something much better in 2013. I would not ever suggest anyone purchase a home in North Rockland. The supervisor spent 48K of taxpayer money of fireworks for Fourth of July this year. Very fiscally wasteful and irresponsible when people are being foreclosed on.

Painted by Regis-François Gignoux (1816-1882). This work is unusual for this artist in prominently featuring the evidence of mankind's presence. This work is also unlike many of his others in that it names the location in the title rather than simply call it another "Hudson River scene". This was a place worthy of being named specifically and having its degree of development detailed.
