CARMEL
This quiet hamlet in Putnam County, only 10 square miles across, is home to the Chuang Yen monastery, which may contribute in part to the peaceful vibe. The trout-filled Lake Gleneida, Centennial Golf Club, and a charming roadside ice cream stand all encourage lazy days off. Those craving a bit more excitement have easy access to all Westchester has to offer, without that county's heftier real estate prices.
