About Pelham (Town)
The town of Pelham is a small municipality in southeastern Westchester County that is made up entirely of two incorporated villages: Pelham and Pelham Manor — each with its own government, downtown character, and identity, and each profiled separately on this site. With about 12,500 residents, Pelham is the county's oldest town, bordered by the Bronx (New York City) to the south and by Mount Vernon, Eastchester, and New Rochelle. Housing is primarily single-family: colonials, Victorians, Tudors, ranches, and Mediterranean-style homes, many built in the 1920s. Lots near downtown Pelham are denser and more walkable; lots grow larger — up to an acre — farther south toward Pelham Manor. The overall feel is established suburbia with convenient city access. Price: Median sale price of $1,315,000 across all home types (median $1,380,000 for single-family homes), per Homes.com's 12-month Village of Pelham sold data (crawled January 2026). This figure is village-specific; a clean townwide Pelham figure was not found, and Pelham Manor should be considered separately. No price filter applies to this profile; figures shown for market context only.
