Rye's upscale homes and large estates make the area particularly beautiful. On fashionable Purchase Street, shoppers find specialty shops of every kind and fine restaurants. Shopping centers with everything one could need are just 15 minutes away. Manhattan is easily reached by several major highways and Metro-North trains are only 38 minutes away. 

The Rye Recreation department maintains four recreational facilities. The Recreation Park complex features eight tennis courts (six with lights), baseball, softball and soccer fields, and a multi-purpose area with lighted basketball courts, a skate park, picnic areas, a volleyball court and two playgrounds. 

More tennis courts, baseball fields and another play ground are at Disbrow Park. On Nursery Lane, Gigliardo Park has a picnic shelter, baseball field, volleyball court and a playground. The YMCA has two indoor pools, modern fitness facilities and classes for adults and children.
