Moving to Pound Ridge, NY

About Pound Ridge

Pound Ridge is northern Westchester's rural-chic enclave — a town of about 5,000 where 2-acre zoning, horse farms, stone walls, and dense woodland create a countryside feel under an hour from Manhattan. The housing stock is almost entirely high-end single-family homes on large lots, and the town has long attracted celebrities and executives seeking privacy. The tiny hamlet center on Scofieldtown Road holds a handful of shops and restaurants; the town's real amenity is its land, including the 4,300-acre Ward Pound Ridge Reservation.
