Why people live here

A tiny one-square-mile Westchester village with one of the top public school systems in the country and Metro-North to Grand Central in 25 min. Walkable downtown anchored by Sarah Lawrence; mix of co-ops, single-family, and Tudor-revival homes.

Who thrives here

Family-anchored high-income households who want a small walkable village with top schools and the train.

A user who fits

Cluster: Classic Walkable Commuter Suburb

Mid-30s to mid-40s, couple, two kids. Train to Manhattan three-to-five days a week. Wants the walkable downtown plus good schools plus tree-lined blocks. Picks Larchmont or Bronxville specifically over car-only suburbs for the walkable village. Drives but doesn't live in the car. Sunday-morning bagel place is on foot.
