New City has experienced rapid development, yielding a wealthy stable tax base.

While undeveloped land for development is scarce, a few small farms still dot the landscape now shared with golf courses, homes, and businesses.
New City has grown to be a generally wealthy suburb of New York City; however, the center of the hamlet is mostly made up of affordable apartment and townhouse complexes rather than wealthy households.
