    White Plains, New York

    AS rents in Brooklyn and Manhattan continue a relentless ascent, New Yorkers are searching farther afield for reasonably priced housing. A flurry of construction in White Plains suggests that the city is hoping to draw new residents into its suburban confines.

    In three to five years, an anticipated US$2 billion in new construction, the most in White Plains since the housing market collapsed in 2008, could reshape the city's downtown, adding about 2,000 units of housing.
