A PLACE WITH MORE THAN ONE SIDE
Hamlet character.
Everyday connections.
West Nyack brings together the old hamlet center around Strawtown and West Nyack roads, established residential streets, cultural destinations and the shopping and entertainment of Palisades Center.
It is a hamlet in the Town of Clarkstown, separate from the Village of Nyack. Routes 59 and 303 and the Thruway shape local travel, while the bridge opens connections to Westchester.
For a move, the useful questions are personal: the layout you need, the route you will travel and the setting you want to come home to.

YOUR LOCAL REAL ESTATE GUIDE
Meet Jennifer Sirkowa
NYS Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker · R2M Realty, Inc.
I help buyers and sellers understand Rockland County, prepare thoughtfully and make a move with a clear plan. In West Nyack, that starts with looking beyond the listing to the street, school assignment, property records and everyday routine.
Whether you are moving into the area or preparing a home for sale, I’ll help you focus on the details that matter to your goals.
FIND YOUR FIT
Homes with their own character.
Look at the home, then look at the setting.
The housing mix includes ranches, capes, split-levels, bi-levels, colonials and expanded homes. Mature landscaping, additions and updates can make two similar styles feel very different.
Compare layout, lot, taxes, school assignment, permits, drainage and proximity to main roads. If a condo or townhome is on your list, review its association’s finances, insurance, rules and assessments.

Where is the Palisades Center commuter lot?

What types of homes are in West Nyack?
The local mix includes ranches, capes, split-levels, bi-levels, colonials and expanded or custom homes. Layout, lot size and condition vary considerably. Compare actual listings rather than expecting one consistent neighborhood style. Explore the resource
What is the median sale price in West Nyack?
The KVCore report updated October 1, 2026 lists an average sold price of $827,429, based on 7 sales in the last 30 days across single-family homes, condos and townhouses. It does not provide a median. Compare the reporting period and property types with recent sales similar to the home you are considering. Explore the resource
How much are property taxes in West Nyack?
Taxes depend on the property’s assessment, taxing districts and exemptions. Review its current town, county and school bills, and ask the assessor and your attorney about exemptions that may change after a sale. Explore the resource
What should I check for flood and drainage risk?
Review the exact address on FEMA’s flood map, available water-intrusion records, grading and insurance requirements. West Nyack has documented flood concerns around the Hackensack River and Route 59, so a townwide assurance would be misleading. A home outside a mapped high-risk zone can still have water problems. Explore the resource

Germonds Park offers pools, ballfields and other recreation. Most Clarkstown park use is resident-restricted, with listed exceptions including Germonds miniature golf and Davenport Preserve.

Where can I find local events?
Start with the West Nyack Free Library, Rockland Center for the Arts, Clarkstown recreation calendar and Palisades Center’s events directory. Use each organizer’s current calendar rather than assuming an annual event repeats on the same date. Explore the resource
Should I get a home inspection in West Nyack?
I always strongly recommend at least a general home inspection. Depending on the home, discuss drainage, radon, sewer or septic, oil tanks, chimneys, retaining walls and other evaluations with your inspector and attorney. Review permits and occupancy records too. Explore the resource

Start with your timing, budget or selling goals. Browse current homes or request a home-value review, then talk with Jennifer about location, preparation, financing and the steps that apply to your move. Explore the resource
