my friend said that she is from there... but it doesn't sound like a real place to me. Where is it? Is there anything special about it AT ALL? Just tell me anything you know about this place.

i live in chappaqua. It's in westchester It is SPECIAL because the Clintons own a home here. Horace Greeley, a presidential candidate owned a large estate here. Horace Greeley High School (the only high school in chappaqua) is named after him. It is ranked one of the topmost schools in the country. The housing market is also ridiculous because of this too.
Chappaqua is beautiful!
