Introducing Tuxedo Reserve: Your Guide to a New Era in Lower Hudson Valley Living

Curious about Tuxedo Reserve? As a dedicated local real estate resource, I’ve done the groundwork for you. I’ve personally visited and toured the community, met with Alan and Adam from the Lennar new sales office, and completed my initial research. I’m ready to serve buyers exploring this exciting new development.

I’m also deeply passionate about representing Tuxedo. As a lifelong resident, this community is not just a market I work in — it’s my home. That perspective shapes how I advise buyers and why I take a hands-on approach when helping clients explore new opportunities here.

Welcome to Tuxedo Reserve

Tuxedo Reserve sales office, Tuxedo, NY.

The long-anticipated residential community of Tuxedo Reserve is finally taking shape in a highly coveted setting adjacent to the cherished hamlet of Tuxedo.

Planned over roughly a decade, this expansive development is a collaboration between Related Companies and Lennar Homes. It promises a unique residential experience, blending quality construction with an exceptional natural setting.

Tuxedo Reserve is positioned to serve as a natural complement to the existing hamlet of Tuxedo, building upon the area’s established amenities, transportation access, and small-town character while introducing new housing options at scale.


Nine identified neighborhoods of Tuxedo Rerserve

The Vision: Nine Distinct Neighborhoods

Tuxedo Reserve is designed to feature nine distinct neighborhoods, each offering impressive scenic and long-distance views.

Many homes are positioned to capture sweeping vistas extending toward Harriman State Park, with natural sightlines that reflect the protected landscape surrounding Tuxedo. These views are a defining element of the community and help reinforce a strong connection between the built environment and the region’s preserved open space.

Home styles will be diverse and thoughtfully planned to accommodate a range of lifestyles and preferences, including free-standing single-family homes, townhouse-style residences, estate homes, and a dedicated 55+ community.

Future plans also include a village center with mixed-use commercial and residential spaces, envisioned to support daily living with neighborhood services, coffee shops, and apartments.

being built alongside Tuxedo Reserve Village.

Featured Neighborhoods

While the full plan is expansive, several of the initial neighborhoods include West Terrace, The Bluffs, Mountain Lake, and The Village at Tuxedo Reserve.

Each neighborhood is planned to offer its own sense of place while remaining connected to the broader community.

Amenities and Lifestyle

An active, connected lifestyle is central to the vision for Tuxedo Reserve. HOA-managed amenities are planned to include swimming pools, sports courts, and community gathering spaces.

Beyond the community itself, Tuxedo Reserve benefits from immediate proximity to the amenities of the hamlet of Tuxedo and nearby Sloatsburg. Residents enjoy access to Metro-North and New Jersey Transit rail service, as well as Coach USA bus service to New York City, offering convenient commuting options into Manhattan, often within approximately an hour depending on route and timing.

Local amenities further enhance daily life, including the Tuxedo Park Library, neighborhood restaurants such as Tuxedo Sushi and Dottie Audrey’s, and a growing presence of local art galleries and cultural offerings in both Tuxedo and Sloatsburg.

All of this is located just moments from Harriman State Park, reinforcing a lifestyle that blends community living with immediate access to outdoor recreation and protected natural landscapes.

Your Opportunity for New Construction

Homes are already being built and sold within Tuxedo Reserve, with early inventory reportedly moving quickly.

This community represents a rare opportunity to purchase new construction at meaningful scale and quality in New York’s Lower Hudson Valley. Buyers are drawn to a compelling combination of convenience and commutability, planned amenities and community infrastructure, and sweeping views across Tuxedo and outward toward Harriman State Park, as well as Rockland and Bergen Counties.

Current Pricing Snapshot

Current pricing is reported to range from the high $600,000s to approximately $1.1 million.
