I worked in Westchester for a long time (White Plains and Yorktown Heights), but always commuted. A common refrain among IT folks I worked with was that, at say $75k/yr, we couldn't afford to live where we worked, outside of some lower-rent pockets like parts of White Plains, that were substandard for the county in general. Towns like Bedford Hills and Purchase are out of sight. The county is a beautiful places in general though, and train service into NYC is excellent. Places like Westchester (and Fairfield CT, as Hal pointed out) are extraordinary, certainly not representative of the country as a whole.
