An Expat Talks about Living in Pelham, New York

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Pelham

What activities, clubs and organizations would you recommend to newcomers to help them meet others?

This is a town where families live. If it is family related the kids will probably meet friends at school and then the parents as well. However, I don't think Pelham would be classified as a singles hangout. There are restaurants and a few bars.

Since Pelham is a small town there aren't any large corporations. Mostly everything is family run. Most people commute to NYC or out of Pelham.

Lives revolve around family and work.

If a friend of yours was thinking of moving to this city or town from far away, what other advice would you give them.

It is a great location to live because you are only a 1/2 an hour train ride to the city. It is also a great place to raise a family but this town isn't for the single person.
