Community

A working to middle-class neighborhood, the New City Condominiums consists almost entirely of townhouses, usually in sets of 6–12. This gives it a high population density compared to most New City neighborhoods, making it a very social community. It is known as being the most diverse neighborhood in New City, with many Russian Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Haitian Americans, Asian Americans, and Jewish Americans that live in the area, as well as people of other ethnic backgrounds. The ethnic diversity of the neighborhood gives it a melting pot feel. Being located right behind the New City Library, a few blocks down from many shopping centers on North Main St, and less than a mile north of the downtown area, make it a walkable neighborhood.

Education

The neighborhood is served by Clarkstown Central School District. Students that reside in The Condos attend Woodglenn Elementary, Felix Festa Middle School, and Clarkstown High School North.
