An eruv covers this neighborhood.
Live eruv status on EruvFinder βSpring Valley is where the Monsey area is densest and cheapest, and the two facts are related. It is a compact incorporated village in the Town of Ramapo β one of the most densely populated in Rockland County β with apartment buildings, two-family houses and shuls sitting on ordinary residential blocks rather than on large landscaped lots.
The Orthodox population here skews strongly Chassidish and is organised around kehillos and shtieblach rather than large institutional shuls. Skver maintains a beis medrash on Lexis Court, Oshvar on Decatur Avenue, and Breslovβs Neβimes Hanachel on North Cole Avenue; Parkview Shul on North Main Street, Vangrub on Maple Avenue and Shimloy on West Central Avenue serve their own blocks. Many are small, and several sit within a short walk of one another, which is the practical appeal: in Spring Valley you can generally walk to a minyan, to a bakery and to a grocery, which is not true of Wesley Hills or Pomona.
It is also the most realistic rental market in the area. Young couples and families arriving in the community frequently start in Spring Valley before buying further out into the villages, simply because the housing stock exists here and largely does not elsewhere in Ramapo.
Two things to understand before searching. First, Spring Valley village is genuinely diverse and much of it is not Orthodox β the Jewish community is concentrated in specific sections rather than spread across the village. Second, and more practically, the Spring Valley 10977 post office serves New Hempstead, parts of Wesley Hills and Chestnut Ridge as well, so a βSpring Valley, NY 10977β address frequently is not in the village. Check village, school district and taxes on any specific house.
Note: the Rockland Eruv covers approximately 42.3 square miles and is inspected weekly. Hotline 888-805-ERUV (3788); rocklanderuv.org. Confirm status before Shabbat and consult your local rav regarding its use.
