The original occupants of the Town of Tuxedo, the Lenape, named the area’s largest lake Tucseto, meaning either "place of the bear" or "clear flowing water." It could as easily have been named something meaning “lake land,” as the region is overflowing with lakes. Of Tuxedo’s 50 square miles, more than 70% is protected park-land; from the western edge of the Ramapo Mountains to the Hudson River are 70,000 acres of forever-wild land. Considering it’s only 40 miles to Manhattan from Tuxedo NY, that’s quite a luxury.
Speaking of luxury, everyone’s heard of Tuxedo Park, a gated community built nearly 140 years ago around Tuxedo Lake as a private hunting and fishing reserve, site of the Tuxedo Club. If it hadn’t been for Pierre Lorillard IV, Tuxedo might have remained a very quiet, heavily forested neighborhood not attracting much attention.
On the other hand, the lush location inevitably would have drawn New York City folks wishing to escape the summer heat even without a millionaire’s playground. It’s such a beautiful area, with Sterling Forest State Park and Harriman State Park right nearby.

There's so much to do in Tuxedo, NY - it can be hard to decide! Contact one of our Local Experts at Village Green Realty. We'd love to give you our recommendation on the best things to do in Tuxedo.
Tuxedo is in, and surrounded by, forest, meaning, you don’t have to leave Tuxedo to get out and play; the town hosts several parks, like Murphy Field (ballfields and a pavilion), Eagle Valley Mini Park (basketball courts and a playground), Tichy Field (tennis courts, a large playground and the home of Tuxedo Little League), PowerHouse Park (outdoor stage and lighted basketball court) and Lucky Skate Park.
The Tuxedo NY community is well-served with not only parks but also by the Tuxedo Park Garden Club and Tuxedo Park Library. For those who wish to give of their time and talents, volunteers are needed there and at Race Track Nature Preserve, which used to be a racetrack, became a dumping ground for a while and now is a lovely nature sanctuary.
Another great thing about Tuxedo is its very pretty train station, one of the original 1885 Tuxedo Park buildings, now a commuter rail stop on the Metro-North Railroad's Port Jervis Line as well as the site of the Tuxedo Farmers Market. Held Saturdays from mid-June through the end of October, the market offers goods from local makers such as Hudson Valley Pantry, Eat Your Greenz, Peaceful Aromas Skin Care, Warwick Valley Winery and Springbrook Hollow Distillery. For another type of shopping you’ve got the Woodbury Commons outlets less than 10 miles away!
Looking for entertainment in Tuxedo? One of the great renaissance fairs has happened here for more than 40 years. Not far away north, in Monroe, is the charming Museum Village of Old Smith’s Clove, educating visitors, since 1950, about the lives of 19th-century rural inhabitants. For nightlife you’ll have to stay in Monroe or head west to Warwick. It’s pretty laid back in Tuxedo. But you’ve got the NY State Thruway and Route 17 to hop on should you feel the need for a busier environment.
As a home base, Tuxedo can’t be beat!
When you’re ready for a chateau or one of the important shingle-style American homes built in the late 19th century, a Tuxedo home for sale is for you: A Tuxedo chateau for sale’s architects were McKim, Mead and White, the landscape was designed by Olmsted Brothers and the interiors were designed by McMillen; ‘nuf said… except the eight acres of Tuxedo real estate it sits on is bordered by an enormous lake and mountains, created by a larger entity.
