THE CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE New Rochelle was settled by French Huguenots in the 1680s. They named the city after the French port city of La Rochelle. The city was incorporated in 1899. The present population is around 73,000. The shoreline, with its many irregularities and off shore islands, measures 9.3 miles. New Rochelle is known for its many big homes with lush lawns but new development includes many condominiums and rental apartment buildings in the downtown area. There are two hotels in the Main Street area as well as a multiplex theatre with an IMAX theatre. Many new restaurants and small food stores cater to a wide variety of shoppers and residents.
The city is known for it's short commute to Manhattan, not as long as it was when the song "Only Forty Five Minutes from Broadway" was written. The new city garage and transit center was recently completed. Many Amtrak trains stop here on their way to Boston, Washington, and the eastern seaboard. Many famous performers call and have called New Rochelle home because of it's proximity to the city and the quality of its beautiful neighborhoods throughout the city's 10.7 square miles.
The city has a new website at www.newrochelleny.com. It's library information can be accessed at www.nrpl.org. The city is home to three colleges, Iona College on North Avenue, the College of New Rochelle located in a neighborhood close to Long Island Sound, and Monroe College located on Main Street.  |  | | | | |
Time to Move >Planning the Move
The custom of relying on friends to help make a move from one place to another has been replaced by reliance on professional movers.
Professional moving companies offer a wide range of service options, including professional packing. It could cost you less if you pack your things in your own containers. However, some movers will not insure fragile items, such as dishes or glassware, if they do not pack them.
Begin your preparations for the move by calling several companies for estimates. And start early! Some companies want three-to-six weeks advance notice. Ask each company how they compute the charges, how much time they expect the move to take, and what kind of insurance coverage they offer against loss or damage. If you have to store your things temporarily, ask what arrangements can be made.
Long-distance movers may send a representative to your home for an estimate, while local companies may quote an hourly rate over the phone. Be sure to ask the same questions of each company so that when you compare bids you will be using the same criteria.
