About Mount Kisco — coterminous town and village profile
Mount Kisco is a single municipality that is both a town and a village — a walkable downtown surrounded by northern Westchester. Incorporated as a village in 1875 and split between the towns of New Castle and Bedford until 1978, when it became an independent town-and-village in one. About 10,800 residents. Unusually for Westchester, the majority of housing units are multifamily (co-ops, condos, and apartment buildings, several walkable to the train station), with single-family neighborhoods including Captain Merritt's Hill's century-old homes, stately Victorians and Colonials along Route 133, and the Mount Kisco Chase community. The commercial tax base keeps residential property taxes relatively low for the county. The downtown on Main Street is the commercial hub for surrounding Bedford, New Castle, and North Castle.
