With miles of coastline on Long Island Sound and a wealth of local shops and restaurants, Westchester's smallest city has a timeless draw. 

Initially a retreat for New York City's well-to-do, Larchmont has grown into a thriving, cultured community with close access to the city, a walkable downtown and beautiful parks. 

Harrison features a wide variety of lifestyles, from quasi-urban downtown to leafy neighborhoods of beautiful homes to large estates in Purchase. It is home to golf courses, Westchester County Airport and all kinds of recreation.

A friendly suburb known for its popular harbor, Mamaroneck is host to a diverse array of homes, from condominiums and historic houses to mansions on the Long Island Sound. Residents are keen to point out the town's community spirit and commitment to recreation; not to mention the short commute to NYC. 

Unlike most Westchester communities, Rye Brook does not have a designated town square to attract all who pass by. Instead, it relies on a low-profile intimacy that creates a quaint atmosphere among its residents.

Rich in history, this bustling Hudson River town for its thriving Main Street, diversity of shopping and dining and a naturally-breathtaking setting. 

A compact, beautiful village with a close-knit community feel, Ardsley is an escape from the chaos of city life.  

This peaceful village along the Hudson is rightly proud of its rich history. From Washington Irving's tale that gives the town its name, to the Rockefellers and a host of buildings from the 17th and 18th Centuries, Sleepy Hollow's past is full of intrigue and notable events—yet today, it remains a quaint, verdant, welcoming community of about 9,000 residents. 

Developed as an idyllic all-American village, Bronxville's storied history, independent vibe and proximity to the city make it a popular choice for those looking to settle in the suburbs. 

For generations, Scarsdale has held strong to its reputation as a leafy, upscale, fashionable retreat. But it's so much more than a famous name. With a pedestrian-friendly downtown and ample culture and recreation, Scarsdale gracefully combines leisure and luxury with convenience.

The hamlet of Chappaqua, with its diverse array of properties, neatly paved streets, and the upscale restaurants is an ideal spot for those considering life in Westchester.  

While exuding the well-kept, calm feeling of a suburban village, Pleasantville offers an exciting array of shops, restaurants, theaters, and bakeries in and around its downtown area. 

With a charming village of unique shops and restaurants, Armonk possesses a charm that is all its own. Many residents commute to the city, but it's also a convenient gateway to commercial centers in Westchester and Connecticut. 

Antique stone walls weave through this spirited, old-fashioned town, which boasts over 130 miles of equestrian trails. Bedford's Village Green, which dates to 1680, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
