Scarsdale occupies a specific position in the Westchester market, and it is worth understanding what you might find here as a buyer. It is not simply an expensive suburb. Scarsdale is a village in its own right with approximately 18,000 residents, where demand has kept values high and inventory chronically low.

Neighborhoods Vary More Than the Zip Code Suggests

• Fox Meadow, on the eastern side of the village, is the most walkable neighborhood in Scarsdale, with many homes within walking distance of Scarsdale Metro North Station and the village center.

• Greenacres, at the northern edge bordering White Plains and Hartsdale, draws commuters who prefer proximity to the Hartsdale Metro-North stop and offers Colonial and Tudor homes primarily built between 1900 and the 1930s.

• Heathcote is the most centrally located neighborhood, with larger lots, larger homes, and some of the highest per-property valuations in the village.

• Murray Hill, located within and adjacent to the Heathcote area, is where estate-scale properties on acre-plus lots trade.

• Quaker Ridge, in the southern portion of the village bordering Mamaroneck, is known for its active neighborhood association and larger parcels.

The Commute Is a Big Part of the Value

Scarsdale Station sits on the Metro-North Harlem Line and delivers riders to Grand Central Terminal in approximately 40 minutes during rush hour. That is among the most competitive commute times available in Westchester for a village of this character and price level. For buyers whose work requires regular Manhattan access, Scarsdale delivers city proximity and suburban scale. Access to the Bronx River Parkway and to I-87 and I-95 makes the village a good fit for buyers whose work takes them beyond Midtown.
