New City contains several particularly affluent neighborhoods which are among the wealthiest in the United States. The community is diverse, however, and more affordable areas can be found closer to the center of the hamlet.
New City has experienced rapid development yielding an affluent tax base. Despite booming development, many of its residential areas have remained tranquil and are composed of wooded acres, winding roads, stone walls, trees, lakes, and streams.
