5 – Commutability

We are seeing a strong trend towards more and more people working from home as part of the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic coinciding with a “flee out of cities” to places like Somers. Some people have completely left the city behind and will work from their new homes permanently. Others are looking to get out of the city they currently reside in, but will maintain jobs in cities which require coming into the office. If you find yourself in either one of these situations, Somers is the perfect place to move. Residents of Somers are a short drive to major cities, like White Plains or Danbury with easy access to the Taconic and I-684. Manhattan is about 45 miles South of Somers and can be accessed from the Taconic or Metro-North Railroad’s Harlem line.
