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.
