One of the greatest frustrations to "newcomers" at SVS is the system of roads in the Metro New York area. It takes time to learn the various parkways, and it also takes some time to learn where the major shopping centers are located. But, no matter how well you learn the area around Crestwood/Yonkers, you will still run across intersections without clearly marked roadsigns. Mapquest is helpful, but it can only help so much.After spending some time in the area many new residents invest in a GPS system for their automobile, and the common refrain heard among these folks is, "Why didn't I buy one of these sooner?" The turn by turn directions offered by the GPS, while not always flawless, will get you where you need to go (AND BACK) without much stress. So, if you are new to the community (or are planning on coming) and have an extra $100.00 in your wallet, seriously consider investing in a GPS - you will be glad you did.
